Prince William visited Christchurch yesterday, and also the mine where there was a major disaster a few months ago. He had a private meeting with the relatives of the miners, and apparently spoke to every one of them. I believe he is now in Queensland viewing the devastation there, - or he will be in a day or two., and then will come on to Victoria to visit the flood areas here, too. He wants to meet the victims, not the officials, we are told. Good on him.
The Victorian floods are still hanging around, as it is flat land, and it has not drained off into the rivers. Crops and homes are still underwater.
