The Qld situation – an accurate assessment.
The lack of information from Dpi QLD can appear that things are out of control.
Below are real facts about Qld.
- There are 227 Properties infected (less than 1/10th of those in NSW and in a much tighter cluster)
- Warwick(52) (new cases declining)
- Millmerran (1)
- Brisbane Western Suburbs (36) (new cases declining)
- Minden Rosewood (72)
- Goondiwindi (6) (0 new cases)
- Tamborine (59)
All new cases are close to existing properties, in existing districts. No infections have been found or reported outside these areas. These areas have a very high horse density.
Expect to see vaccinating of horses from Sep 29th in a buffer zone around these areas. People in effected buffer zones will receive notification this week and there will be a wider campaign to inform the public.
Unfortunately QLD DPI’s shortfall in keeping the public informed is its own worst enemy. Qld is in a far better situation than NSW and infections aren’t spreading like wildfire contrary to some scaremongering .

Hi Pat
Interested in your comments and generally agree. Wonder where you get your info though given the DPI privacy thing. I am in the middle at Brookfield - many properties here are quarantined but NOT infected. Situation same as 3-4 weeks ago.
Cheers

Pat,
I am at Walloon and we have now got 6 new properties infected that I know directly, in the last 2 days. The winds have been our killer - we had buffer zones, no contact and still got it! I am also hearing a lot more cases around this area down to Tamborine, and DPI didn't ant to know any of us - just said read the website for treatment options - they are just so overstretched. A week ago I thought we were winning in Qld, but now I'm not so sure - it really is highly infectious with the right weather conditions. I am not scare mongering, but just trying to warn people not to become complacent!
