They only arrived in Cairns in 2006, and have so far been contained to Smithfield and Kewarra Beach (both Northern Beaches suburbs). They have big road signs posted about to be wary of moving pot plants between suburbs, as that is how they get about. Still a bit sad at the shops today. The big bulky items that are non-essentials are running low or are out altogether - tissues, paper towels, biscuits (although you'd think they WERE essential) etc. Down to the last 200gms of bacon as well. And very limited eggs. Still, we're still a lot better off than some -poor Karumban folk will be without water soon (hope your brother is not regretting selling off his choccies Elizabeth!) Hope you are are all keeping safe and happy wherevere you are! Hi Everyone,

The rainbow bee eaters are cool though. Electric ants sound awful, as if you don’t have enough to contend with - toadlets and their even worse grown ups! The rainbow bee eaters are cool though.

I've seen toadlets like that, hundreds come in waves across the path when I walk down near the little dam in our area. I don't care about treading on the slow ones. They are all awfull creatures. Those ants sound like our Fire Ants, I wonder if they are the same (as BB asked). The drink makes me think you have got supplies coming through again. Hope so.

Are they the same as fire ants? Whatever they are, they must be eradicated. let's hope the authorities can do that. Hi Cindy,

The juice looks delicious, not so negotiating the baby toads. You do have wonderful bio-diversity in your back yard. Glad to hear of your sumptuous breakfast and the food stocks not being as critical. My laid back brother at Karumba told me he sold all his stocks of chocolate!!!!
