Saturday 16th March 10.22a.m. Overcast and calm. 7.4 / 11.1kph SW, Hg 62%, Temp 20.2C / 69.4F top of 22C 72F. Shower or two. Hazardous Surf Warning.
Moon is 37.5%
For three months, Julian and Jackie Pagani have been burning hundreds of litres of fuel a day to power a campsite no-one can visit.
Usually their camping ground at Cape Tribulation, nestled between World Heritage-listed rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, swells with visitors this time of year.
But since Cyclone Jasper and a subsequent flooding event wreaked havoc on Far North Queensland last December, no-one has been able to get into the remote coastal village.
There's only one road into Cape Tribulation, and it's impassable.
"We haven't had any tourist trade since the cyclone so we are three months in with no income, no trade," Ms Pagani said.
"We don't know where to go from here, we don't know when we can reopen the doors, we don't know what to tell our staff, we don't know what to tell the bank."
Cape Tribulation has no mains power so for the Paganis, powering the campground is an expense that doesn't stop — even if the tourists do.
About 400,000 tourists normally visit the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, located about a three-hour drive north of Cairns, each year.
The region recorded almost 3 metres of rain after Jasper crossed the coast near Cape Tribulation and the deluge caused a 56-metre landslide that effectively severed the rainforest village from the rest of the state.
