Beach summer in Victoria: bushfire on one side of the hill, flash flood on the other.
No rain fell on the burning side of the hill.
Flood inundated campsites & swept cars out to sea. The bushfire is still out of control & continues to threaten communities.
This is our new normal, for now. Are we taking climate instability seriously yet?
