TULLY

Off again to another property today owned by Marie to help remove irrigation pipes, poles and wires used for passionfruit crops that were destroyed and covered with debris from the cyclone. With us today were Glenis from Forest Beach near Ingham and Chris from Brisbane. Lesley & Glenis worked very hard pulling out the "poly pipes" used for irrigation that were completely grown over with creepers and other tropical undergrowth. We also had the rescue helicopter buzzing around Tully last night as six bush-walkers got stranded on Mt. Tyson after dark and had to be air-lifted down from the mountain.
