Make or Break

The positives far outweigh the negatives when it comes to life in the country. Although I've been driving without air-conditioning for the last month (in the delightful inland heat) and noticing that it takes a greater amount of precious time to get new parts in, it's all banished by wonderful people and a great lifestyle.
It's this lifestyle that I'll never take for granted, for I've seen what's become of Queensland. The impossible task of cleaning up the mess is one that everyone is chipping into where they can. There's the strongest sense of Australian fighting spirit and we've rallied like we're so proud to from histories past. Maitland, where I work everyday is prone to floods, the biggest in 1955. 'Courage and Fear' is where the headline voiced the thoughts of a town under water, and it's what I encourage all those up north, and even those in Victoria who are suffering much the same conditions, to heed in times in need.
It's proven that it's still the simplest pleasures in life that make us happy, it's proven that our family and friends come first. Life is fragile, everything else can be replaced. Together as one.
