15 Juni 2011 | Australië, Fernvale
Hier een klein berichtje vanuit Australie. Momenteel zijn er aardbevingen in Nieuw Zeeland en overstromingen in New South Wales. De komende tijd ga ik ook weer verder reizen, om weer hier en daar een aantal dingen te gaan bezichtigen en te bezoeken. Ook zal ik jullie proberen om op de hoogte te houden van de overstromingen hier in New South Wales waar wij niet ver vandaan zitten en hoe deze zich ontwikkelen. Hier een klein kranten artikel over de Aardbeving in Nieuw Zeeland en de Overstromingen in NSW. Aangezien er niks terug van is te lezen in de Nederlandse dagbladen op internet. De kranten artikelen zijn wel in het engels!!!
Shallow aftershock rocks Christchurch as experts warn of more earthquakes
The already traumatised South Island city was rocked by major quakes on Monday, with a 5.0-magnitude aftershock at a depth of just 1km rattling the nervous residents again early today.
Christchurch mayor Bob Parker later reported no new damage was caused by today's aftershock, which was followed by others including a 4.2-magnitude shake at 2.30pm local time.
The most recent quakes - which come after the February 22 disaster that killed 182 people - have been blamed on a new faultline in the region.
New calculations by GNS Science showed that from today until June 15 next year there was now a 30 per cent chance of a quake of between magnitude 6.0 and 6.9 striking the area, compared with a 23 per cent probability expressed last month, The Press reported.

Flooding forces road closures, evacuations on New South Wales north coast
More than 1500 people have been evacuated, with 400 locals leaving their homes and businesses in Kempsey in search of higher ground.
The Macleay River, which runs through the town, is expected to peak at 6.9 metres this afternoon, a Bureau of Metrology spokeswoman said.
"Which is a major flood," she said. "It's above major now."
As much as 78mm of rain had fallen in Kempsey in the 24 hours to 10am (AEST), while 276mm of rain had fallen at nearby Bellbrook since Sunday.
There are evacuation centres at East Kempsey High School, Melville High School, South West Rocks Anglican Church and Macksville Salvation Army centre.
NSW Emergency Services Minister Michael Gallacher said more than 300 SES workers were helping people in flood and storm impacted towns across the region
They have responded to more than 1000 calls for emergency assistance from residents over the past three days, he added.
"These calls have included assistance with evacuations, medical emergencies, water inundation and storm damage including leaking roofs and fallen trees," the minister said.
Severe weather warnings remain in place in the NSW Hunter region and on the north coast.
"Today the focus will be on monitoring the complex low weather system as it shifts towards the Hunter," Mr Gallacher said.
Towns that have already copped a drenching include Turners Flat, which had been inundated with 234mm of rain since Sunday, and Aldavilla, got 245mm during the same period.
Residents at Fernbank, North Shore and Settlement Point areas of Port Macquarie are expected to be isolated later today and about 700 residents from Smithtown, Jerseyville, Gladstone and Kinchella were ordered to evacuate by early this morning.
"That number has increased because we have had a recent evacuation order come through for Settlement Point, on the Hastings River," the SES spokeswoman said.
Rain had been heaviest at Carey's Peak, in the NSW Barrington Tops, where 198mm had fallen in the 24 hours to 9am (AEST), a BOM spokesman said.
"Another area of concern (today) is Dungog, in the Hunter region," the SES spokeswoman added.
"Major flooding is expected around that area."
About 20 properties are likely to be inundated by 3pm (AEST).
The RTA has warned motorists to avoid all travel on the Pacific Highway between Port Macquarie and Nambucca Heads, while the Pacific Highway is closed at Kempsey.

Ton Amsen:
Hallo Stan, ga je weer een beetje in beweging komen? Ik kan het me tenminste voorstellen dat je dat hangin' out (at the Gillmore's) en hangenopdebank soms een beetje moe wordt, niet? Je wilt weleens wat zien, toch? Want daar ga je per slot van rekening voor naar "the other side of the world", n'est ce pas? En waar gaat de reis nu naartoe, Great Barrier Reef, of pak je nu de westkant van Australië? Well, good luck and have fun ... -
