Day 314: Upside down, but not out.


 The world of Queensland may have been spun on the axis of ‘down you go’ over the last couple of months.  Mother Nature has thrown us huge floods in Central Queensland before Christmas.  Early January she engulfed her vehemence on South East Queensland with devastating floods and lives lost.  Now not to be left out of the loop, she decided to throw a Category 5 Cyclone Yasi to the Far North only a week and a half ago.  Her trail; a mass of property destruction once more and peoples’ lives left in disarray.  The big M may have turned us upside down, it hasn’t beaten us yet.  With the help of some unbelievable emergency personal, volunteers and service employees, plus a host of others, things are getting back to normal.  What we need now is for people to come back to Queensland and have an adventure, holiday or both.  Boast the small business’ back up and start to get things right side up again.  So come on up, over, and across the weather is hot, the reef is waiting for you to find Nemo.  There are plenty of grand adventures waiting all over the state.  Don’t forget those awesome outback towns too, you may find a character or two there.  Who knows it could lead you to write the next top best-selling novel.
