  • Kangaroo Island, NSW South Coast, Alpine Region & Victorian East
    FIRES UPDATE Kangaroo Island, NSW South Coast, Alpine Region & Victorian East Gippsland 06 January 2020 Dear All, Please find below the latest update on the bushfire crisis currently occurring in certain parts of Australia. Goway has been proactively contacting and have successfully relocated all clients whose travel plans will be impacted by these fires. Kangaroo Island Fire On the evening of Friday 3rd January, a fire situation escalated rapidly and without warning on Kangaroo Island, which has resulted in the loss of key tourism infrastructure on the western side of the Island, including Southern Ocean Lodge, and Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary & Cabins. The eastern side of the island has been unaffected by the fire. Firefighters on the island have been battling fires since before Christmas, but extreme temperatures and wind caused the blaze to go dangerously out of control resulting in the destruction of much of the Flinders Chase National Park. Goway is pleased to say that as of Friday evening, there were no Goway booked clients on the island. Summary: Sealink have confirmed that all day tours are cancelled for today 6th January and likely Tuesday 7th. Further updates will be provided as to the status moving forward. We are proactively re-booking affected clients that are due to stay over the coming days and taking advise from our supplier partners. For clients with accommodation in the ‘current’ safe areas, it may be ok to travel later in the week. These areas include, Penneshaw, Kingscote, American River & Willougby. Please see the image below for the location of the properties that are presently unaffected.

Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. This Food Access Guide is developed in partnership with Beechworth Health Service as part of the 2020 Local Food for Local People project. It aims to support a vibrant regional food system, where local people have access to fresh and healthy local food, profits stay in our local communities and community connections are nurtured.

Alpine communities offer many different stores selling fresh groceries, and the wider area abounds with local farms and producers of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, honey, olives and olive oil. This guide also shares information about where to find local food relief as Covid-19 has both made it difficult for many people in our communities to make ends meet and disrupted social relationships. Food relief options include basic supplies, fresh produce, healthy ready-made meals & vouchers. We have aimed to include food retail outlets, markets, producers, community gardens & food shares as well as emergency food relief offerings in this guide.
