Thank you Bill, a very interesting and encouraging article. By coincidence, the following is published in the current issue of our local paper, the Regional Independent:

Stone the crow!
Last Thursday afternoon many residents and businesses in Bungendore were without power for over four hours. No cyber attack just a crow which brought down a single power line on Malbon Street, near the Ellendon Street intersection. QPRC staff members directed traffic as well as our Bungendore RFS unit.

Essential Energy were also on the scene but due to the local Bungendore Telstra tower losing power, they were hindered in their efforts to resolve the situation quickly.

Apparently a flock of crows came to loudly mourn the deceased and a nervous worker had to remove the body.

Best wishes – David
