i thought the weather was nice in OZ

Usually we do, but last year had heaps of rain and massive floods which were pretty severe. The floods in QLD have happened every 30-40 years, but that's because they let the damn get too full before realising water (225% capacity I think and prior to the current damn they couldnt release any water at all), so when they did finally realease the water just had no where to go and overflowed and caused a massive flood, but they now release the water once it reaches a certain level and it will be at 70%-75% no higher. My cricket club was extremley lucky as we are near the brisbane river and the flood waters got to just before the wicket block, so we didn't have to replace that which apparently costs $60,000, so very lucky and all it did in the end was make that half of the field black as mud and the rest was lush green due to all the rain. One club (Souths) got flooded completely (Under 2 or 3m or water) so they had to fully redeveloped and I heard they were in a flooding area from recent floods so they werent covered by insurance.
