Re: Newcastle Peeps!!!!!
my house got owned! We had a massive tree in our front yard - it is no longer, it fell onto our house at about 2am last night.
Its not too bad though, damage seems minor.. looks like we did Ok compared to people who got flooded, etc.

Re: Newcastle Peeps!!!!!
Thats a real shame Bon. Hopefully none of your coffee gear got damaged
What part of newy are you in?
Im amazed at how much flooding there has been everywhere up here. Who would have thought Wallsend would flood? Or King St in newy? Weve got a good trailer load of gum branches down in our front yard - thankfully the tree is still upright though.

Re: Newcastle Peeps!!!!!
Im at the northern end of the Central Coast. Guess who decided at the start of the week that it would be a good time to finally renew the back pergola roof, and got as far as stripping it all off when the storm hit. Managed to drown the kitchen and laundry.
The worst admission that I have to make is that yesterday after 24 hours without power I was driven by sheer desperation to visit the local shopping centre (which was the only place for miles around with power) and purchase a coffee at GJs. I proved yet again that a good moka pot coffee is better than a bad espresso machine coffee, yuck! At least I got a caffene hit.

Belmont North - not far! - the road to Redhead has been washed away, so now the beach is 20 mins away, not 5.Charlestown... you?

Re: Newcastle Peeps!!!!!
If any CSers from newy need some emergency roasting on top of grendels offer, my BM roaster is up and running and my 3 speed box bean cooler should be finished tomorrow (pics to come later), we might be able to arrange a time to come by and get some of your roasting done in my shed.Originally posted by grendel link=1181343260/0#6 date=1181446450Anyone in Newcastle who lost their roasting gear and needs emergency resupply of roasted beans - let me know and Ill express post some over east to you.
