I've just returned to Brisbane from a trip to visit clients in North Queensland, flying in and out of Townsville and Mackay. It's been a few years since I've ventured that far north and the weather was perfect, at least for a trip to visit client businesses. Sadly for many primary producers the drought continues and visits like this just highlight the pressure on farming enterprises and the flow on effects to the communities that support them. Fingers crossed for more rain soon, in the meantime I did appreciate the view of Magnetic Island from my hotel room in clear weather! If we had a visited office up there I think I would have to migrate for the winter…
