It sounds as if we got off lightly though. They cancelled the races, the footy and the Moomba festival; evacuated the aquarium, the National Gallery and the Ian Potter Centre at Fed Square; evacuated Chadstone and the Jam Factory; closed the Domain tunnel; and closed down Southern Cross station after part of the roof collapsed. Lots of flood photos on the Age website"

It's a funny old climate-changey world.
