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

    • Damn, as someone who just glued the damn things in (very slightly askew but better) I wish I saw this, or someone made this. Would be worth linking this to Boosted International. They're always looking for product ideas and this is something they would likely make.
    • You know what, I'll double or nothing. Save your money, buy a V8 Manual Mustang in 2 years and have a more fun street car with better support and all that. I often tell people "if I could do it all again, I wouldn't". Sell your R34 GTT to someone, spend the 20k in difference between that and a 2018 Gen2 V8 Manual Mustang. I'll bet you will have the $ in your pocket by the time you spend the ~20K differential on mods and get them installed. Just planting this seed for future regrets. Blah blah, wisdom of people who would do it differently who are at the end of the road you are just starting on, etc. Car modding is often death by a thousand cuts as you wait to afford the next big mod. Imagine a 2 door Skyline with a 330KW N/A V8 Revving to 7500rpm like the RB25, with 315's all round.
    • Yes I'm going through a similar thing with my R33 with rust in seams due to dried out seam sealer cracking. After much research I settled on Penetrol. Read what it does and its done a bloody fantastic job for me. Pressure pack comes with a thin tube to get into hard to reach places.
    • If someone walked up to me and offered me an amount that I can't refuse, please take it away, I'll throw in half my tools, the boxes of brand new OEM spares, anything in the house I can find that's Skyline related.  Want the lot gone.   (don't mod your car, you'll regret it)
