Day 261: Farmers heartache.


 At the moment Australia is experiencing some extreme weather for summer.  At this time of year it is usually hot all around, humidity levels changing depending on whether you are at the top or bottom of Oz.  Now there is snow on the Alps, when there usually isn’t, floods in WA, NSW, QLD, Vic, and tropical low sitting off the coast here (potential ‘gentle sea breeze’).  It is amazing.  So with all this the famers who just had enough rain to end the drought now have too much.  The sugar cane farmers have had too much rain here so the rest of the sugar cane can’t be harvested as the fields are too boggy to get the machines in.  They can’t seem to get a break, I hope they get one soon.  Because without them, we would definitely go a little hungry!
