Wet Roads Dampen District After Brief Dry Spells
Heavy rains return after a brief dry spell, turning roads to mud across Malanda Peeramon and nearby areas. Reported rainfall totals show a sharp regional contrast with Boonjie and Millan Creek areas hit hardest as the wet season seems to arrive earlier than in recent years. Harding's Ltd notes sales of Mrs Wrights farm near town and a large cattle sale at Hannahs with 119 head sold and total proceeds around £1600 to £1700.

Mossman Notes the Wet Season and Hospital Cost Impasse
Rain began last Saturday and has since drenched Mossman, swelling rivers only mildly while roads suffer from flood waters and poor drainage. The bamboo near Foxton bridge complicates line maintenance as authorities resist removing it. Plans for a Mossman hospital raise concerns over ratepayer burden and districting fairness, with costs potentially reaching 416,000 and ongoing Port Douglas service reductions.
