We're just one of thousands impacted by the storm and the loss of power since Tuesday. While some towns have had power restored, at this stage Ausnet are saying we might get it back Saturday.
As bad as the loss of power is, the lack of phone service was even worse... thankfully that has been restored, although it seems to be hit and miss as to whether you can make a call or not.
Luckily we've been able to cook basic meals using a little gas camping stove and we've been able to charge phones using a solar powered charging bank.
We haven't been able to refuel the cars as the local servo is shut due to no power. Apparently the next nearest town has a petrol station open but there are queues lined up for hundreds of metres.
Oh well, as bad as it is, it could be a lot worse, at least we're not having to deal with fires or floods!
Cheers
