The rain has not arrived yet, so the mill is able to keep crushing as they are way behind on there tonnage. The mill still seems to break down every couple of days and once it stops they struggle to get it going again. In fact we recently had a breakdown of 4 days.
They say they will keep crushing after Christmas, but we won't be here to see that (if it ever happens).
Crush figures- The Mossman Mill hit the 1million tonne yesterday, so a big celebration!!
They are still way behind and farmers are expect to have 16 to 20 precent carried over for next year, which will not please them.
These are upright but badly damaged.
Look at all the spilled Cane.
The track, the cause of the derailment?
Broken bins and sugar cane everywhere. (Steve happy to have a day off).
Bins every where.
Now for some random pictures Steve has taken whilst out in his truck................
