Day 12
Our last day of volunteer work.
We were assigned to John & Vicky, another elderly couple and neighbours to Ron and Val.
We had a quiet day with Janet & Tony helping us felling trees along the river frontage of a beautiful garden property. Tony is dynamite on the chainsaw and made light work of it.
Both elderly neighbours have retired up here and went through the cyclone in their own homes, like most others. It must have been very frightening.
We went to the Tully Show in the afternoon. A much bigger affair than any of the small town country shows I have ever been to. The whole town and the sugar refinery gets involved.
Our last Supper, and breakfast next day for that matter.
A very nostalgic farewell. We have met lots of lovely people here and we are sad to leave but determined to return to Blaze Aid at another time and place.

And so we continue north.....
