Hi Everyone! Janet, too, if you're listening!
I've just arrived back at my island. I am exhausted! Drove 860km since we last spoke, through the most incredible water-logged scenes: helicopter evacuations, land become inland seas, roads split open like wounds. Even many locals haven't seen water like this in their life-times!
I need to sleep now. Just read this thread and want to let you know I'm safe - but it's been hair-raising! I am relieved to hear that you are all safe, too, through your ice and blizzards!
I missed Janet! Her road was still closed when the police let us through to take advantage of a 12 hour window of time before the next flood surge is expected through Far North Queensland - we call it F. N. Q (F'n Q) - where I am now. So you'll have to wait another few months for the promised photo of Janet and me!!!
Must sleep now - I'm falling over on my feet!!! The last two weeks as I travelled north have been so exciting! I'll try and poem them for you!
Love, and all happiness to all your New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cally
