?Cairns infection

In response to the question about the infection being in Cairns the answer is no it isn’t YET! (fingers crossed) But… a horse in Gordonvale (just south of Cairns) initially tested positive and then was proven to be negative for the virus but they kept quarantine around the property just in case. Apparently there was another one in Julia Creek as well. ATM we in the north are clear of EI but given the infectiousness of the disease and the apparent lack of control it may not stay that way. I think I can speak for all other horse owners in the green zone of QLD saying we are thinking of all of you in the red zone and hoping against hope that we stay free of it.
