New Zealand landslide *– heavy rains!
Wrecked campsite – deth a couple claims…
Nature’s vengeance unrelenting
Means more campers lose their tenting!
“News Breakfast” on the ABC:
Daily climate update spree!
Extreme warnings: floods, bushfire
As summer heatwaves can be dire.
Some quirky items make the cut:
The corpse flower** “Titan Arum” stuck
In my mind, as when in bloom
Its stink can quickly clear a room!
“Lady Gaga” here is python white
To visitors - a rare zoo sight;
Today’s news: she is to retire***
While Tamworth**** "roper” skills inspire!
A cull of pesky cane toads planned;
While “Hate Law” politics is damned;
Today’s new capsule of Oz news
All grist to my cheeky Muse!
