The North Queensland Floods The devastation from the recent North Queensland floods will be felt long after the mud and debris has been cleaned up. Called the once in a century monsoonal deluge the people of Townsville and surrounding areas are not only reeling from the loss of their personal belongings and memorabilia, but many have also found themselves not covered by their insurance. Add to this the threat of deadly bacterial outbreaks and it is little wonder that many of us have felt compelled to help. Supplier partners EnviroCare Earth from Western Australia generously donated vast quantities of Cleaning supplies. St Dalfour have donated large quantities of their Ready to Eat French Bistro Gourmet to Go meals, and Go Natural donated bars and snacks. CHP have donated Pallets of Canned foods, Sanitisers and Bamboo wipes. Freight Company Hi-Trans also subsidised our freight costs to get our donations to Townsville. When disaster strikes it can bring out the best in human behaviour by opening our hearts and motivating us all to help out. Autumn 2019 69
