January 13th - Oz News

While Brussels shivers under snow,

Heatwave conditions make us glow;

Cold showers are the way to go

It seems to me.

North Queensland is awash with rain

At Melbourne Open* – wet terrain

Weather forecasts make it plain

Extremes are key.

 

A plane crash happens in N.T.

Rockhampton: tourists come to see

Mini penguins running free:

Prized habitat!

An Observation Centre planned

But too many tourists crammed

Mean conservationists now stand

To ban all that!

 

So, sport and nature head the news

Ruffling feathers with strong views;

Hence poets find it hard to choose

What to relate;

A railway strike in Sydney’s East?

Home rental figures just released?

Or, wild dog** fence to be increased?

Much to debate!
