Rockhampton Mayor Brad Carter has warned that the flood waters also contained crocodiles. "There is the risk that we have a number of crocodiles that live in the Fitzroy River," he said. "We do not think they are a risk to public safety if people keep out of the waters but if people do enter the waters, their safety cannot be guaranteed." Animals aren't even the only present threats in Queensland now due to the flooding. Authorities have been particularly concerned about pregnant women. At least twelve pregnant women in the area were evacuated. Another 20 or so pregnant women from outlying regions were also evacuated.

Run for your lives or the preggos will eat you!

Its why for about the last 10 years one of Australia's biggest exports was education because overseas it really is just that dismal unless you come from a very wealthy family and have the connections to get into one of the good universities. Here, even the 'mediocre' universities will set people up well and it is highly regarded anywhere.
For a while when I was 'hirin n' fire-em' for a company I gave a couple of entry level positions to people with overseas degrees and they where about 75% complete idiots in their field. The resume looks ok and they may even seem ok, but there is no aptitude to the point I'd just hire local TAFE graduates with more or less the same line of education (just not to the higher level of uni) and they very rarely disappointed.
Was a real eye opener that's for sure!

haha i love australia: Where average is great.

We don't do anything well, but we don't do anything badly: We're ok at everything.

We're good at passive aggression. You probably don't know what I mean though. It's cool, don't worry about it man Not even an issue.
