I just saw a video from 9 News Sydney saying/showing keepers are relocating animals at Australian Reptile Park due to torrential rain, posted yesterday. Is this current news? It also mentions/shows keepers at the Central Coast Zoo (same zoo?) working to keep their alligators contained as the water levels rise.
I'd link the video but I can't seem to figure out how. Should be on the Facebook pages of 9 News Sydney and Australian Reptile Park.

Yes, it is current. The fire has been replaced with flood. Australia is an ironic place.

Here's an article about the floods, insane how the weather has changed:

Not exactly. There’s still a lot of fires still burning. The floods are in a different part of the country.

The Australian Reptile Park has welcomed a female Koala joey named Ash, who has recently emerged from her mother’s pouch.

The article also states that there are at least another three koala joeys still in their mother’s pouch, yet to emerge.
