At the moment our fruit & vegetables prices is set to rise around here. We are all trying to buy Australian grown so we keep our farmers in business that has something to sell. The quality of the fruit & vegetables is not as good before floods but what do you expect when you have 3 states with flooding and another one will go under in the next few weeks remember I said in an earlier post that South Australia will end up with most this water in the end.
So far I have bought seedless grapes, watermelon, bananas, oranges and mixed salad greens as tomatoes are to expensive to buy so are apples around $9.99KG (2.2lbs). Most have blemishes on them but are eatable all the same. Around Queensland milk is still short supply as our main supplier went under in the Brisbane flood same as last time in 1974.

In Victoria the Snowy Mountains send the water back into inland so it will end up in the Murry River which was almost empty 12 months ago and all lakes and Dam empty but this flooding is about 20 km wided in places.

Now we are on watch for TWO Cyclones (Hurricanes) next week coming into Queensland, one is Category 2 and another Category 4. Do remember all this flooding came from Cyclone Category 1 on Christmas Day as it joined up with monsoon trough at the time. We still have monsoon trough around. There is another cyclone in WA too!
