Hi Jon,

I just got home from Emerald last night and if I'm honest, I haven't done a lot on this for the last day or two as work as wound back up.

I have quite a bit of travel on over the next month and some stuff happening at home which looks like occupying a lot of my time before and between travel. I feel a bit low on saying it knowing what other people are going through but as of this week, I don't have a lot of spare time to put in.

With the generosity of AFF Members, there is a few hundred dollars in PM's that I have been sent along with your great offer of stocking a whole day of BBQ'ing.

I am forming the opinion now though that food might have seen it's peak need though as a hell of a lot of power has been restored, many shops and businesses have re-opened and people can get in and out of their streets.

I wonder if from here on in, the best help is in direct donations or offering arms and legs to keep the clean-up going.

Quite true, since the streets would be open enough by now. My idea was to help the poor guy dragging the esky, plus it would have put a few smiles on faces.

Hey guys, I think we got a mention on ABC radio the other day. I forgot to mention it. I was listening on the way home from work and someone from Graceville rang in and said, "I dont know who these guys were, but they had a big bbq set up at graceville park, and if that wasnt enough they also had a ute full of drinks and drove around all day handing them out" T
They were using us "I imagine it was us" as an example of how generous people were in their area, as the host asked people to call in about how strangers helped them.
