IMG_8594_flood pump.jpg Sea level rise is a real and increasing threat to Australia, as the majority of the population live around the coast. Cairns in Queensland is particularly vulnerable. King tides in March 2010 came within inches of inundating the city. If this high tide had coincided with a storm, it would have spelled disaster. Cairns has recently spent $millions on this and other new pumping stations that pump storm water out to sea, The storm water, due to increasing sea levels was backing up and flooding the centre of Cairns during the highest tides.

IMG_8988_melbourne.jpg On Saturday 6th March 2010, Melbourne was hit by the worst tropical sotrm they had experienced in over 100 years. It started with a hail storm, with hail 12cm across (the size of lemons) followed by torrential rain. $millions of damage was caused and many of the cities streets were flooded causing chaos to transport. Whilst they were glad of the water in this drought stricken land, it seems yet further evidence of the impact of climate change which is resulting in more severe weather in many areas.

IMG_3645_derwent.jpg The devastating floods that hit Cumbria divided the town of Workington in half after all the bridges crossing the river Derwent that seperates the town were destroyed. This left many residents with a 40 mile car journey to get to work or school, which previously had been a half mile walk. This week a footbridge was installed by the army to reconnect the two halves of the town. The bridge was named the Barker Crossing after PC Bill Barker who lost his life when Workingtons main road bridge was destroyed. There is still no way across for vehicles and Cumbria County councul announced this week that it could take up to two years to erect a new road bridge.
