Banana Growers Coffs Harbour after the storm
This shows the devastation from the June 2016 storm. Some loosing all or part of their crop: it takes about 8-9 months to re-grow the runners and have fruit ready to harvest. For once, the show is on the other foot: over the past 10 years, North-Queensland banana growers have been wiped out twice in the last decade: first in 2006 (cyclone Larry) and then again in 2011 (cyclone Yasi).
In 2014, cyclone Ita threatened for a while before it was downgraded to a category 4 storm.
During both cyclone disasters, Coffs Harbour growers (as well as growers in Carnarvon in WA) did stiff business when bananas retailed for well over $10 a Kg.
As Coffs Harbour accounts for less than 10% of national banana volume, and as not all growers have been impacted, we're not expecting significant price movements. So Coffs bananas will at times suffer from limited availability.
Cyclone Debbie on Our Way (Vlog #80)
Cyclone Debbie was one of the strongest cyclone that did hit Australia in the last 60 years and you can see why...
Day 4: we left Woolgoolga early in the morning to go to see Springbrook National Park but due to the heavy rain some streets were flooded so we weren't able to go anywhere. We spent the night in a very nice rest area: Sleepy Hollow Rest Area. If you are going from Coffs Harbour up to Gold Coast and you wanna take a nap, that is the place where you wanna go. Clean toilet, table and games for kids.
Day 5: it looked like there was no way to go up north so we decided to drive to a small town next to were we where but exactly when we were starting the car, a very friendly gentlemen told us that the highway was finally open so we went north and YES, this time we did it. First stop has been Burleigh Heads, the best village I've seen so far on the east coast :). I had a surf session after long time and see a wedding on the beach :) To sleep we stopped on Marine Parade, after Miami. Nobody said anything :p.
Day 6: the day started very early with a surf session (around 6.30 a.m.) with great waves. Then we headed to Gold Coast where the weather changed SOOOO fast, from cloudy to clear to cloudy again :p. We just chilled on the beach, walked around Surfers Paradise and before the sunset I went up to the Q1, the tallest skyscraper in Australia with its 322m. The price for an adult was 25$. After that, we drove to another very cool rest area: Hung Muntz Park (where you even have BBQ).
