Raw Sugar is open!

Last night we opened the new bar.  Raw Sugar officially opened and everything went perfectly!

We were really busy!  Not just in Raw Sugar but in the main bar and restaurant.  Nearly every other Pub was closed hours before us.  Most of the staff from the other pubs were in drinking at ours!

Here are some pics of how very well it all came together...

So close you can taste it...

FRIDAY Raw Sugar Opens!

Steven was down again this weekend and brought with him all the fixtures and fittings...and then FITTED THEM ALL!

He has done the most amazing job and I think you will agree it's looking rather spectacular.  His attention to detail is incredible.  It's really exciting to see our plan spring into shape and we are all really proud of it.

Friday should be a big night.

I'll  update  again once she is stocked and ready to go!

Raw Sugar - a week away!

The magical Steve has almost finished Raw Sugar!

This weekend all furnishings, fixtures and fittings go in and then the electrical and plumbing is done next week!  We can't wait!!!

Here are the recent pics with Mark and Tim hard at work painting!  The outside has the undercoat and the inside the first coat of colour.

Tim has also downloaded all of our music for the bar so is our DJ of sorts!

Here we go again...wet, wet, wet!

This morning we are cut off again.  North and South.

Here is a pic of the satellite image.  As you can see the rainfall seems to be saved for us only!

The large storm at the top of the pic is, guess what?  Aimed straight for us.

Batten down the hatches (again).

Ingham, My Island Home

Well, well, well....did someone order a downpour?  A potential cyclone perhaps?

We have had a fairly intense week.  A lot of stranded tourists have joined us on our little inland Island.

No vehicles could access or leave Ingham in any direction.  We were completely stranded.  Things are only now getting back to normal and it looks as though another deluge is on it's way!

You may have seen our very Pub on the news last night!!

I am linking a video of the main street in town...hope it works!  Be patient...it takes a while to buffer...make a cup of tea, watch an episode of Prison Break and come back....
