My best wishes to anyone who is in the flood-affected areas or has friends or relatives up there. I was a Brisbane girl once and still have family up there - thankfully none were flooded. My sister, near Withcott, went without power for many days and houses in her area were washed away. There have been some harrowing stories told by the survivors but the stoic 'get on with it' attitude, the community spirit where thousands of volunteers have got in there to help clean up, and the humour in spite of it all - a bull shark spotted swimming up the main street of a town - have made me proud of my countrymen.
