A Quote From Down Under

This from Keryn Emmerson. ~

Like most Aussie quilters, I'm devastated by the images of the
Queensland floods. I lived in that state for 26 years, and nearly
every place that I lived is now under water or in danger of being
flooded. The little town of Forest Hill in the Lockyer valley, where
I lived while I went to Ag College, has been completely evacuated;
it's some of the richest farm land in Australia, and it's terrible to
see it under water. For an idea of the scale of the disaster, Texas
fits into Queensland 4 times; an area three times the size of Texas
is flood affected.
