Don’t they all require a sugar mill for production?

Jake Wyatt

Local kids motorbike track with all the vacant land around. Closest is Cairns or Mareeba. Get them outdoors and on the fresh air. Annual fee and committee members to help maintain. More activities for the kids.

Karen Marsden

Why not hemp? You can build houses, make fabric, rope, biofuel, paper, list goes on, crop every 3 months.

Adam Lübke

What about cocoa? 

Barry Williams

There is a company in WA that is already exporting biofuels, for christ sake, all everyone wants is a taxpayer handout. The Australian Government apparently doesn’t want to use biofuels, that is why it’s being exported by the company in WA. 

Kris Kupsch

Respect the land and plant diversity.

Christine Sudarsana

Throw in some agave for some tequila.

Steve Puppinato

I hope the previous management of the mill are well clear of this new proposal. They screwed the entire system earlier on, please, chase them from this one.

A skinny croc is a dangerous croc.

John Sexton

Wow... didn't some know it all tell me this wouldn't happen. You can't relocate these animals.. 

John Chapman

303 time our kids can't play near the water anymore because of idiots who think they are cool.

Andrew Louden

A well-fed Croc will stash you away for later.

Mo3 isn't skinny. Been snacking on Daintree produce for several months.

Hope still held for missing sausage dog

Jo Westgate

Sausage dogs at least 2 of them in this area have gone missing for days even weeks on end and still made it home safely.

Update Bobby might’ve been spotted walking down the path behind Sea Temple towards the road from the beach around 11:30 today (Wednesday) please keep an eye out, he doesn’t have a collar on anymore. We have hope. 

Deidre Baker

We miss seeing Bobby and Ollie at the beach.

Christina Gibbins

Praying for Bobby's return. 

Amanda Haines

Oh poor Bobby! Every owner's worse nightmare - any more sightings? Sausages (like my Slinky) are tougher than we give them credit for. I have everything crossed that he’s found.
