Day 91 - Today I am grateful...that I'm a Queenslander

As Cyclone Yasi bears down on far North Queensland tonight, I can't help but wonder what on earth we've done to deserve this?


Surely, we've been through enough this year? 2011 is only 33 days old for goodness sake! And already we've seen the merciless hand of Mother Nature tear through our beautiful state with wreckless fury...

But you know what? If anyone can get through all of this WE can.

We're Australian. We're Queenslanders. We're born tough. And we will rally. Grateful.

Yes, it will take time. Yes, there will be more devastation and carnage and potential loss of life. All we can hope for at the moment is that there is as little as possible. But whatever happens, we WILL get through it. Because we are the strongest and most resilient country in the world. And we look after our own.

And so for tonight, my prayers and thoughts are with those in North Queensland. May God hold you in the palm of his hand....
