Mate, I can't even imagine what you went through. The desperation in such situations can be suffocating. I don't think we're facing anything even remotely close to that right now in Vic. Sorry, that you'd to go through all that. Nature can be brutal.

I've got a few tuna cans, some chicken in the fridge and salami. Got enough flour and yeast to bake breads. I'm worried that electricity might get disconnected for some time but gas should be okay. In the worst case, I've got a barbie, should be able to cook simple stuff on it. I've charged a few power banks just in case I need it for mobiles phones. Thank you for the comment.
