Flood Update

Contrary to what Sky News has apparently been reporting, Iluka is not flooded! The flood waters at Iluka thankfully never amounted to more than a really huge high tide. Nor are we cut off. We were for a short time, but north re-opened quickly and while south is still blocked between Maclean and Grafton, the Summerland Highway is open and operating.

In fact, visitors trying to get to Yamba for their holidays are coming to Iluka and then crossing to Yamba on the ferry. The river here at our northern arm has calmed and while it is still has too much fresh for fishing, the fish are now at the beaches...good flatty, massive herring and the occasional fat happy bream have been caught. The ocean water is clearing rapidly and people are swimming at the beaches, but we have a pool anyway, so the kids currently in the park have made great use of that!

So we would like to reassure our customers that Iluka and by association, the Anchorage Holiday Park are open for business, with no flood damage.
