Hope everyone up there is ok, but I guess with power out we wont find out for a while. Anyone heard from Jaymie or others up there

Faye spoke to Jaymie a couple of hours ago, they are without power, with some damage around the property, but they are OK.....

Good news

Jaymie said they have good supplies of alcohol, friends and ear plugs

Just no bananas, but good all the same

Glad to hear they're OK....

Mind you the mango cider stocks could be a bit depleted by the weekend...

ginger beer was the drink of choice on the evening. been too buggered to drink since then we still have no power and no water, and the fish are dying. the gennie doesn't like running for days at a time

I had to bury 50 jade perch, all about plate size. Spent this morning cleaning system and getting ready for more fish now that power is back on in Cairns. Should be getting some barra in the next day or so

That's a bugger about the fish... but glad to hear you guys & gals are safe...

damn Buzz. that's hard

No damage with us in Kuranda, just got tired of bucketing water through the system every hour for two and half days. happy to report the 5 jades we have made it through. Pity about most of the plants but seeds have already been planted:)

Thats a bugger of a first post Buzz.. When you get up and running again maybe start a system thread, and give us a looky

Sure hope everyone is Ok. Having suffered two weeks of power loss after Hurricane Katrina, I can relate. Had no fish in tanks at the time. Was able to maintain pond DO with tractor powered aerators. Generators kept the freezers running. Hang in there my friends.
