CYCLONE ULUI - 21st March 2010

Cyclone Ului had us bunkered down in our beautiful ladies toilet block, mattresses in the showers for some comfort. We didn't have any guests, just our staff and our long term regulars and 2 dogs!

Our staff include our new Assistant Managers, Bruce and Shirley, and their son Max, from Whyalla SA, who have never seen rain like we have experienced in the last 3 months since they arrived let alone a cylcone. After living in the tropics for 20 years, we, the Park owners, Debbie and George, have so far avoided any really big blows.

Most of the crowd managed to sleep through the noise, even Milo the dog was oblivious, but Wiggles was aware that something was not quite right. Tiani and Max, kept themselves busy watching videos in the shower cubicle and George prowled the park checking for damage through the night and keeping us informed in the toilet block with the cyclone updates.

Anyway the news is pretty good. There is a lot of tree debris to clean up but there was amazingly no damage to any structures. Trees fell around our cabins.

Our main concern for a while will be power. We hope the generator copes. It could be quite a few days before power is restored. But the cleanup has begun and it will be business as usual in time for Easter.

The pressure is on with a full park but we will be organised and ready with all the usual fun happening for a big Easter weekend.

The big trees will take some time to recover but all our palm trees fared very well and by the time our winter guests arrive, the whole park should look gorgeous again and we can get on with doing what we do best - looking after our guests and showcasing this beautiful region of ours.
