Five states have now been affected by floods (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia) and Western Australia has had bushfires. My heart goes out to all those who have been affected by these tragic events.
While I have already mentioned the Qld Flood Appeal Auctions there are some other amazing people out there organising things for other people in the crafting community.
- Gun Tree Designers are organising "New Beginnings" sewing kits for Quilters who have lost everything. Click HERE to find out more.
- There's a group on Ravelry called Restash Queensland/NNSW aimed at helping RAVers who have lost their stash.
If you wish to check out some photos of the floods in Victoria click HERE. The photos are from Halls Gap & the Grampians.
Twitter tags are #vicrains, #vicfloods, #qldfloods, #nswfloods, #tasfloods, #wabushfires

Joanne, that helpful spirit of people is why I smile sometimes, even when terrible things are happening in the world...Woot! Woot! to all the people who are reaching out! {Especially my fellow crocheters!}
Yes people can be amazing and it is so good to see :)
... it's surprising problem !!
Thanks for stopping by 'uday'. These floods were a big surprise for a lot or people.
This is just amazing. The area I live in was flooded last May and some businesses still aren't open. Luckily, we weren't personally affected, but it's been hard to watch.
You are right Beverly it has been awfully hard to watch. The latest thing I have heard is that it has cost around $30 billion dollars in damage and lost revenue for Queensland alone. They are also predicting it may take around 2 years before families and businesses have fully recovered.
