Damn Hot Huh?

[GTR-N1]

I'm working down here at the Historic Site and I've been helping the SES little too.

Situation is starting to look up really.

Roads are in such a condition that we can have escorted convoys to get the tourists out in their own vehicles and supplies in on trucks.

We've had a few boats come in and deliver supplies which has been really helpful, things would be a lot worse if it wasn't for those guys. Sea's aren't very nice at the moment so this has stopped, but the trucks are still coming in.

Power is off and will be for another week or so I reckon. No big deal for me personally though, I'm pretty well setup, got a petrol powered pump and I can charge my phone in my car.

Got lots of supplies here at the SES and a pretty good amount of man power.

If you want to help, cash donations to the salvos or Red cross is the easiest and best way to do it. And another really good way to help is to plan your next holiday down here for next summer and drop heaps of cash back into the local businesses, while they can write a lot of the losses off on insurance, it's still hurting them a lot.

Speaking of hurt, one of the local supermarket owners was just blatantly ripping off the locals, charging like $5 for a paper and $60 for a pack of smokes, triple price on fruit and veg, shit like that, someone went down and touched him up last night though, needless to say; prices are now back to RRP.

Thats about it from down here really!

THIS ...

deserves to be on a new page!!!

So just reiterating...

* Donate through Salvos

* Donate through Red Cross

* Plan your next holiday to Tassie
