Fitzroy Island Resort - Cairns

Fitzroy Island Resort Re-Opens
Saturday, February 05, 2011

Fitzroy Island Resort is back up and running after recent Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi passed through the Far North.
The Resort team lead by resort owner; Doug Gamble remained on the Island throughout the storm and has quickly cleared away fallen trees and debris left by high winds.

Power supply, water, phones and communication remained fully functional throughout the storm.

The resort sustained minimal damage with only gardens and some shoreline areas being affected. The Island team have been able to get everything up and running very quickly.

The Jetty, esplanade and beaches are now fully accessible with the Resort and all accommodation now back to full service. Late yesterday the final clearing of trees and debris on the National Park tracks was completed. The lighthouse and Nudey Beach access tracks are now fully open.
Newly opened Beach Bar  “Foxys” was serving cold beer last night for the hard working team on the island.  

Ferry services to the island are back to normal with 60 guests arriving today for the weekend.

This Saturday’s Flood Appeal Concert featuring ARIA band “Mental As Anything” has had to be postponed and will be set for another date soon.

MENTAL AS ANYTHING ARE PLAYING AT FOXY’S BAR ON FITZROY ISLAND

SATURDAY 5TH FEBRUARY 2011

ARIA HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
A popular urban myth concerns a group of art students who passed themselves off as a band in order to con the local publican into giving them a gig in exchange for free beer. The deception worked better than intended, and the group came to be known as Mental as Anything. Nearly two decades later, they are still irritating the public with their highly listenable, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop.
A self-explanatory single to reflect their success, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, rose through the charts as did their fundamental understanding of the old adage that 'for every action there is a reaction'. Ahead lay a very lengthy pub crawl which only the accomplished could survive.
Don’t miss the legendary band in an iconic venue! Book your tickets now!

Special Guest DJ PAPA STANLEY will be spinning the sounds for the evening
