Our thoughts are with all those whose lives and homes have been devastated in the floods. We were relatively unaffected here, while 2 hours north in brisbane and even south of us I know people have struggled with record rains and rivers breaking.
Particular thoughts to Erica & Maree, the organisers of the unschooling conf, whose homes were spared in the deluge but live in Ipswich, one of the most devastated areas.
It’s inspiring reading the stories of communities gathering together and supporting one another, but also alarming to think about the long term impact of mountains of top soil washed away and what it means for Australia’s ecosystem…
In the meantime if you want to have a visual before & after comparison of the impact see the ABC pictures here, or make a donation to help flood relief here.
