Funny you should say that. With all the rain, & now golf ball sized hail around Melbourne, we were just saying there will be a plague of locusts which we haven't had a decent sized plague for years, will now finish off what's left.

The last of the fish from the heatwaves are now dying due to ash runoff!

Hail:

A huge dust storm has swept through Dubbo, in the state's Central West, with wind gusts of over 100kph.

After it hit Dubbo on Sunday night, the storm continued towards Parkes before moving to the Central Ranges, affecting multiple communities.

Looks like the hail will finish off the last of the koalas!

We were lucky, about 2cm, but I got caught outside & they bloody hurt!

Ive been in a similar hail storm in France, as you say they hurt, had to use a patio chair as an umberalla if you felt the need to go outside, We worried about the hire cars getting dented outside our rented gite but they were OK. the pool looked comical with 1000's of ice cubes floating in it At work

Drought, fire, smoke, hail, flood, locusts (on their way) & now Funnel Web spiders.

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-22/...e/11888750

A public warning for a funnel-web spider "bonanza" has been issued as hot and wet conditions coax the amorous arachnoids from bushland and gardens.

Huntsmans also come indoors to escape the wet weather!

I dont mind Huntsman - at least you can see where they are

I got bitten by a white tail (or so i was told it was) - in the end needed surgery under GA to drain the abscess on my lower back. They have a reputation for causing necrotic ulcers, but this may actually be unfounded and I was just unlucky.

Meanwhile at the other end of the country, top end. The only other sealed road east west is flooded.

'Roads closed, for now

A campervan was towed to Camooweal yesterday after its owner attempted to drive through flooded water.

Camooweal's police officer in charge Sergeant Amit Singh said he made the decision at 3:00pm yesterday to close the road to the Northern Territory after NT police told him around 40 cars were stuck on either side of a crossing near Sedan Station, 150km west of Camooweal.'


Camooweal a couple of years ago.
