It's 2013. We've downsized from a townhouse in Coffs Harbour to a 4WD turbo diesel campervan to tour the country!

Floods
Well, onto my life so far in Australia. It’s still summer here, which is also the rainy season and the time for flooding in this region. By the way, this “region” is about two hours south of Brisbane in the lush subtropics. If you Google Earth Upper Crystal Creek, NSW 2484 you can locate our valley and see that we’re living on the edge of a huge volcanic caldera.
I arrived to cool temperatures (in the 70s) and grey skies. I was totally prepared for a hot, sunny day!!!! Well, it beats the snow and freezing temperatures in Olympia. It did not take long for the heavy rains to begin and within 24 hours we were land-locked, as the main road was flooded and there no way to get in or out of the valley. Now, over 48 hours later, we are still land-locked as there is a ton of rapid water still running over the causeways on the road. Cabin fever is starting to set in a bit.
