• Mainhouse Roof Replacement Has Begun

    Thanks to the great work by Bob and Tuck, the Mainhouse is getting a new roof!  This will mean that no further water damage will occur and any internal work can be done without any further damage.

  • School Bus Run Alternative Route

    Blue knob – Lillian Rock Road – Murwillumbah Kyogle Road – Stoney Chute Road: Gosels Bus service alternative route information.

    Nimbin Central School is open.

    I have been in contact with Gosels bus service re getting the students who normally travel down Lillian Rock road and along Blue Knob road to school. For those on this (north) side of the road damage (5km’s north of Nimbin), they will pick students up at Blue Knob Hall at 8:10am. They will then travel up Lillian Rock road and along the Murwillumbah Kyogle road, (Barkers Vale) down Stoney Chute road and into Nimbin Central School. They can take any students along the way.

    Please let everyone know.

    For more info call Gosels: 0427149689

    The Bridge repair is underway and may should only be another day or two.

  • Road Status and Warnings

    WARNING!

    Be careful on Barter’s Hill (the first one, going down coming in). A land slip has taken out the verge on the outside edge and I wouldn’t drive to close to the edge there, it doesn’t look too secure.

    The condition of Gabal Road from the Front Gate to the bottom of the hill is good as it has recently (after the rains) been graded, so you can keep well left when heading up the hill.  Remember to give anyone coming down lot’s of room.

    2WD Access Restored

    The roads have just had a touch up courtesy Aaron, Chris and Ross. The culvert at the front creek is in good condition and the road in from about Greg’s up to the Dairy triangle has had gravel added and been graded, so roads are passable even by low riding 2wd vehicles. (maybe not TOO low riding – don’t bring your show car in).

  • AGM Postponed

    Hi fellow Nmbngeeians!

    I have sad news and happy news to deliver.  The sad news first: I’m sure you will be crestfallen to know there will be no meeting this weekend. Due to unpredictability of weather and road traversability, we are postponing the meeting for two weeks.  We will confirm the exact date of the AGM via text or email, but it is likely to be Saturday two weeks from now.  UPDATE: The postponed AGM will be on 22nd April, 10am. Download AGM with new date..

    Now for the good news!  Everyone is safe and (relatively) dry!  The creeks sprung up and separated the back from the front and the front from the outside world.  Which left the community not much more isolated than usual, the way we like it.  Roads in the area are in a sorry state, but once Murwillumbah and Lismore return to normal most roads will be traversable. If you are coming from Nimbin to Nmbngee, at the moment you will need to go via Stonychute Road, as the Pratts bridge (just before the peacock farm) is out.  You can see the damage here Pratts Bridge Washed Away. It may be more than two weeks before the bridge is replaced, so keep that in mind when making your way to the farm in a couple of weeks time.

  • Testing Email Notifications

    Just letting you all know, I have implemented email notifications for new posts, just to help keep us all up to date with news.

    If you wish to be removed just email me on info@nmbngee.org.  They won’t be a lot of emails though, only new posts, and they will be useful.  Nevertheless if you still wish not to be notified just let me know and I will remove you from the list.  You will still remain a member of the website and will be able to log in to see new posts.

     

  • Website Problems Fixed

    Website Working Again (sort of)

    So it’s still a problem – the latest update broke the member access plugin. So I’ve fixed it for now, by adding a “member login” button, and just allowing the members section to go to a 404 screen unless the user is logged in.

    So non members will be able to browse the site as normal, but if you aren’t logged in and click “members” you will get a 404 screen. Just log in first via the login button.

  • Gabal Road has been graded!

    Well after a wet spell Gabal Road had really suffered, with deep ruts on all the hills and deep pot holes on the flat stretches.  Finally the Council have deigned to grade the road!

    Check out this nice flat surface!
