Australia has a very dramatic climate.

In my city this year we had terrible storms which saw a tanker come ashore at Nobby's Beach. Many people were forced out of their homes by flood.

You can google it: NEWCASTLE STORMS JUNE 2007.
Use the Pasha Balka (this was the tanker that came ashore). You might get some good pictures.

In this moment in my country we are the same situation this year the rain was complicated.
Many people had that abandon their homes because in Costa Rica we have small rivers but they are very high in rainy time.

In November this situation will be finished because begin the summer time.

Hello Ms Shazzam. What do you mean under 'junk food OUCH'? Did you mean Genetically Modified (GM) Food or something else? If so, do you think that Australia faced with a population growth to the point where to ensure food security there's a need in involving GM products? If not, what are the reasons of this process in your country from your point of view?

In Costa Rica there are some organic food, this food are made without element chemicals, we will try to avoid strange susbtances in the food.
But there are many Costa Ricans eating Mc DOnald's.

What is your favorite organic food?

In my case I like tomatoes, potatoes, and beans.
