Almost Blown Away

Hi there,

I was on tour in Melbourne when Cyclone Oswald hit our home up in the Maleny Mountains.

I’d been watching the news coverage as it past through Bundaberg reeking allsorts of havoc heading for where my family were so I was worried.  I went to the airport to get on the flight I’d booked, but planes were not landing in Maroochydore & the highway was cut between Brisbane and our place so I stayed with my friends Tyke n Lou .  Never had a cyclone got so far south keeping such intensity. The Phones were dead, we usually have good mobile coverage at home, not now, I couldn’t check to see if things were all ok and the TV coverage now had it passing right over the sunshine coast – our territory. No contact for 3 days – then Millie called – she’d driven to higher ground to receive mobile connection saying over the windy background noise that they had not had power or phones for 4 days & they were taking quite a battering, the worst she’d ever experienced since our move up.

Thankfully they were ok, shaken but great news to me.

I managed to get a flight out the next day and was met by Mill & family at the airport and saw lots of damage that had occurred on the way home, mostly up rooted trees, lots of debris & swollen creeks.

A couple of days & nights still without power were very relaxing with candles a glow and no TV sniping at us .

So It was great to be home, we still had one - unlike some unfortunate folk who we really feel for.

Back to he mission -

My next tour with The Express members - Harry “Thunder Thumb Brus and Paul “ The Feel Dealer” Wheeler is back down to Melbourne to play at The Flying Saucer Club www.flyingsaucerclub.com.au  on Friday the 15^th March. A new venue for us so please come and join us enjoy it.
