Since the late December of 2010, huge flood had strike Australia, primarily in the state of Queensland and its main capital, Brisbane. Damages recorded are believed to cost up to $30 billion. More than 50 villages in southeastern Victoria state have been swamped following heavy rains linked to an especially strong La Nina weather pattern also unleashed record flooding in the nothern Queensland region. The flooding in Victoria follows weeks of massive flooding in nothern Queensland which swamped two-thirds of the giant state, paralyzed several mines and left 30people dead. People living in low-lying areas were urged to be prepared, according to a statement issued by Brisbane Mayor Campbell Newman. The Brisbane River is expected to remain high until Sunday. Other states are lending a helping hand to the affected area. The flood hits 2/3 of the country. Officials have said the complete cleanup of the Queensland state capital would take months, and reconstruction up to two years.The Australia government is considering a higher levy to cover up the cost for rebuilding.
It is sad to have a big disaster happening nowadays in the earth. I'm still glad that everyone is lending a helping hand to the people in Australia. Stars like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are among the big names in tennis to take part in a special exhibition on the eve of the Australian Open to raise money for the victims of Australia’s flood disaster. I hope that the Australian government will handle this disaster efficiently because every single action means a lot to the ones who are suffering.
