Everyone OK???	Can't Post

I've been hearing about the big blow on the news over the weekend and wondered if everyone down under weathered the storm in good shape. Hope so.

Hi Larry,

The hurricane cat5 hit the northern part of the country(Queesnland) Shocked

No life loss as of today thank god Angelic

Banana plantation was 90% wipe out so price will sky rocket for the year I'd say. No koi ponds were affected as far as I know coz koi is ban in QLD Crazy

Thanks for you concern...........how sweet of you

Hi Jon,

Good to hear everything is ok. Good of Larry to inquire too. BTW, I will be going to Melbourne end of this month and will be visiting my sister for a week. Should be fun to go to Oz and will be catching the F1 GP Sunday too. Tongue

cheers..

Hi Jon,

Nah, cannot make it to Sydney this time round. As it is, a week is a very short trip and we are already not doing Melbourne justice. The pleasure of visit to your home state would be all mine really and I reckon whatever wine collection you have will not be safe. Next time perhaps. Smile

Cheers..

Very good to hear all is well Cool

. The reports I've heard on radio and TV are pretty devastating. One desscribed banana and cane plantations as looking like they had been mowed down like grass. Cane and Banana's grow back easier than Koi-Keepers so it is good to know that you and your fellow Aussie Kichi are well.
I've been fine. Just too busy for my own good. I've had a string of large houses go up all at once so I havn't had much time for posting or pond work lately Frown

Jon,
Saw the clip of the banana plantation flatten too. Its good to know there were no human casualties but for some of them it must have been traumatic and will need plenty of help emotionally and financially to return to normalcy.

Hi Guys,

We do appreciate all your concerns and support Smile

. Apart from cane and banana plantation, lots of different fruits plantation were flatten or damaged. So far according to the local goverment it will take at least 9 months for some platation to get back to normal Unsure

The bill so far is billions of dollars excluding plantation Shocked

and they are bigining to worry about human disease spreading. Fruit prices went up in double or more. Like banana for instance from $3 to $6 Shocked

and the current supply can only last for a month or so. Due to Australia's tight ban of imported fruits, we'll be drain of some types of fruit in no time Pirate

Thanks again everyone Smile

rgds,
Jon
