Why is Australia experiences flash floods?

Q.


Answer
Flash floods occur when a lot of very heavy rain occurs over a short period. The water has to go somewhere. Most of the floods in Australia were not flash floods but river floods where more and more water runs into the rivers and the rivers rise, overflowing their banks. There is plenty of warning for river floods, next to no warning for flash floods.

"Australia didnt help Pakistan when it having flood, so allah now punishing Aussies"
The Australian Defence Forces made a number of trips to Pakistan taking in tents, tarpaulins, plastic sheeting and water purification equipment, generators, birthing kits and water containers to help more than 10,000 affected families. Australia gave more than $15million worth of aid. If allah doesn't like it, you know where he can go.

i want to fully change my families lifestyle. am i making a mistake?

Q. ok so my partner, myself and our two daughters aged 3 and 1 live in australia below the poverty line. we rent a house and have also brought a block of land 1.4 acres. we are struggling with rent, mortgage, bills, food and all the rest! im over it and im over seeing my husband stressing constantly about everything. i'm sick of the TV being on and the junk food that is alway being brought into the house and useless cluttering crap that i have to clean up everyday and not being able to afford potatoes.
im wanting to sell of all our useless stuff and move into a tent on the block and build our house ourselves bit by bit, grow our own food (we already have some fruit growing and two chickens) and just say screw you to the world! limited power, no tv no internet just a whole lot of nature for the kids to run around in!
am i going mad or am i really onto something??
if you could do it would you?
would really like to know people opinions on this???
thanks
better paying job is not an option my partner is looking ALL the time but there is no one hiring anywhere around where we live for anything


Answer
you really shouldn't live in a tent, you couldn't do without basic bathroom and kitchen necessities. And building a house is hard work, you would definitely need some help to be able to build a decent house to code.
But you are on to a couple of good things. If you have 1.4 acres, that is plenty of space for a nice garden. Grow fruits, vegetables, grains, maybe get some more chickens so you have plenty of eggs, and maybe some to sell. Maybe get some other animals like a cow for milk. Do as much as you can for yourself. Learn to make your own bread, snacks, anything you can. Homemade is almost always healthier and cheaper. In this world it's hard to get by without internet, but why bother with the TV. Don't pay for cable. Turn off the TV, who needs it, plus there are always things online you can watch.
Take advantage of your land, it's really your only asset. If you can grow enough to sustain yourself, and maybe sell some, that would almost completely get rid of your grocery bill, and maybe make you a bit of profit.
Get your kids to help you in the garden. Get them out of the house, playing outside, teach them the value of work. Teach them to clean up after themselves and take pride in their property.
Don't move into a tent, I'm sorry you'll probably keep having to pay rent until you can afford to get contractors to build your house, but in the meantime, use the land to its full potential.
