With regard to the recent Aussie rains:

The shooting of the Movie about the WWII attack on Darwin etc has finished in the Queensland town being used as a stand-in (Well a certain cyclone in the 1970s killed pretty much any chance of anything 'period' being left standing there!) and are about to move to the West Australian Homestead that was to be used for certain scenes there...

Well, not only can they not get in because the roads are impassable - and that often means for months at a time... but where the homestead was (and which was drought stricken for several years), is now a lake - a ****ing BIG lake...

They started keepimng rianfall records in that area sometime in the 1860s, and the rain that fell in under a fortnight is double the highest monthly rainfall EVER recorded...

"Australia - land of droughts and flooding rains"...
