Thinking of Queensland

My thoughts are with Queensland this afternoon, and all those affected by the devastating floods. I've spent the afternoon watching the horrifying images and news unfold on ABC24, and I can't imagine the fear and anxiety that people must be experiencing. Brisbane has been told to prepare for the worst over the next few days as the destructive fast-moving water hit the city today.

If you can, please donate to the Premier's disaster relief appeal - here's the link to all the ways you can contribute and help those who have lost everything: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html

I'll be updating this post as more ways to donate or help the appeal come to hand:

• Bid generously on a piece of hand-made jewellery using Tasmanian Myrtle timber (above) in That Vintage's auction, with all proceeds going to the Premier's Disaster Relief: That Vintage QLD Flood Disaster Relief Appeal Auction.
