The international aid agency Oxfam says the flooding situation in Papua New Guinea's East Sepik province has now reached crisis point. Seven people have been confirmed dead and about 11,500 people have been affected by flooding along the Sepik River.

 

Phillippe Allen, Oxfam Australia's associate country director for PNG, says although flooding is a regular occurrence, water levels have risen excessively in this wet season. He's told Radio Australia's communities that are normally dry for most of the year have been inundated, damaging water sources and destroying sustainable livelihoods.

It's not just those on the land who are feeling the effects of the drought, fisherman in northern parts of the country are too. Gary Ward is the chairman of Gulf of Carpentaria commercial fishers association and has noticed a drastic drop in barramundi numbers.

 

He says the missing wet season is to blame for an 80 per cent reduction compared to last year. "Fishermen are battling to fill orders that they've been able to fill for many years." "There's a drought on the land, there's a drought in the sea." Mr Ward says they're hoping to get a cold snap in winter which could improve the situation.

In the last 24 hours Central Queensland has copped a soaking with the rain set to ease inland but hang around on the coast. Persistent onshore winds associated with a weak trough have brought warm, moist air onto coastal regions. The result has been substantial rain to fall in parts of inland and coastal Central Queensland.

 

A significant amount of rain has fallen in Capricornia in the 24 hours till 9am Tuesday with 61 mm on the coast at Byfield, 42 mm at Samuel Hill Airport and 56 mm at the further inland Blackdown Tableland. This is the most rainfall in the area since March earlier this year and is especially significant for May which is normally a relatively drier month.

Organisers of a beef crisis summit in north Queensland today want to see 100,000 Australian cattle donated to Indonesia. Up to 500 graziers, as well as the state and federal agriculture ministers, are gathering for a meeting in Richmond to address the high Australian dollar, drought, high debt and the reduced cattle export industry.

 

Organiser Barry Hughes says one resolution is to make good with Indonesia after the live export suspension.

The Mayor of Ipswich in south east Queensland says it is crucial local governments across the Hunter, and the rest of Australia, share their experiences of dealing with natural disasters. Paul Pisasale will speak at Lake Macquarie Council's second 'Our City, Our Future' lecture series tonight.

 

Ipswich was devastated by floods in 2011, which saw more than 3,000 homes and businesses inundated with water. Councilor Pisasale says he is proud of how his community pulled together during the natural disaster.

Western Australia is bracing for a wild few days of intense wind, rain, thunderstorms and waves with potential for significant damage, according to weatherzone.com.au. From Tuesday night to Friday the wind, rain and storms will be far reaching across the west and south of the state but focused on the southwest, particularly the area from Perth to Albany.

 

"Wind will be strong enough to damage buildings and bring down trees and power lines. Storms will be intense enough to enhance the wind and rain and lead to flash flooding. And waves will be large enough to erode beaches. There is potential for wind gusts to reach 120km/h, rainfall to amount to 60-to-120mm and wave heights to exceed five metres," Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said. There is still time to do some tidying up around the yard and clean the gutters before the peak of the weather hits on Wednesday.

Continuing to show dedication to your ongoing spiritual path will see you well on your way, now and in the time ahead. You are growing into purer aspects of the ultimate oversoul consciousness that is you, and along this process you will encounter some discomfort along the way that we hope to be able to assist you with in any moment.

To those extents, we work far beyond issuing our communications for the collective of humanity to absorb and hopefully benefit from. We are working from a myriad of different positions on the ascension of your Earth and on the awakening of each and every dear Earth soul who is still stuck in the limitations of the third dimension.

The drought has broken in New Zealand, marking an end to the driest period in 30 years. There have been significant falls of rain on the harder-hit North Island over the past two weeks.

 

The dairy industry is estimated to have lost $1.4 billion ($NZ1.7 billion) because of the cost of feeding and reduced milk supply. Conor English, chief executive of the Federated Farmers of New Zealand, says dairy production will continue to be at a reduced level.

Greetings Dear Ones,

We are the Pleaidian Emissaries of Light and we speak to you through an expanded corridor of connection which was established almost a year ago, during the Eclipse Cycle of May 2012. Since that time so much has transpired in your world and in your lives. Know that the themes you are experiencing are also felt within larger spheres of organization, the fields of light and energy you think of as the galaxy and even the Universe.

More and more you are realizing the true nature of your being.

This 2013 Wesak season is unique, with vast potential to catapult you into a higher vibrational state of being. Be awake to the opportunities and you will have potent fuel for your enlightenment. You can shed significant amounts of old dysfunctional patterns and step into your higher purpose – much easier than ever before.

Why is this Wesak different?

First, there has been a significant quickening in humanity’s awakening since last year. Events on a world scale and shifts in consciousness mean dramatic changes in how people view and respond to circumstance. There were high points in the awakening process during 2012 – including the December 21 Solstice – but this Wesak carries even greater potentials.

Second, regardless of how you view your own spiritual progress over the past year, you indeed have grown in awareness and capacity to shine your light brightly in the world. Sometimes you may feel you’re the same as before, or simply frustrated about longtime challenges that persist. It takes great clarity to notice your subtle inner shifts. Appearances can be deceiving. Trust that you aren’t the same being you were a year ago.

The WA Local Government Association (WALGA) has endorsed a proposal for the Building Code of Australia to include minimum standards for cyclone shelters. Pilbara councils requested the association support the move at WALGA's state council meeting in Karratha on Friday.

 

The Shire of Roebourne says there are currently no specific standards for cyclone shelters in the community or for private shelters, such as those on mine sites. Pilbara Regional Council chairwoman and WALGA deputy state president, Lynne Craigie, says a request will now be lodged with the building codes board.
