Some tragedies have made news headlines recently, over in North Queensland & Victoria. In terms of location, Brisbane is "caught in the middle" of the unfortunate events in both places, & are fortunate to be well away from those tragedies.
There are the huge floods up in North Queensland. A huge tropical cyclone & some heavy rains have caused all that flooding, in the Ingham area in North Queensland, resulting in widespead damage to property & infrastructure. In unrelated news, I heard of a child in North Queensland being taken by a crocodile. That is horrible; pity the family.
Meanwhile, there are some horrific bush fires over in Victoria. In fact, it is so bad as to be the worst bush fires ever in this country, with a record death toll - already more than 100 dead, & the death roll is still rising, with final count possibly exceeding 200. Apparently, arson is suspected. Frankly, I cannot begin to understand how anyone could be so callous & twisted as to start lighting fires in dry, hot weather, knowing what the consequences of their actions would be.
I pray for the people in both places who are affected by the tragedies. May God comfort them in this times of trouble.
