In response to Cyclone Larry, the Blitz and Landcare teams restore a school grounds, devastated in the storm. When Cyclone Larry swept through far north Qld earlier this year, the results were widespread and devastating. Crops and livelihoods were lost, and hundreds of people were without power, running water or a roof over their head. Of the 156 schools affected, Innisfail State High School was the worst hit – suffering severe water and structural damage. Ten classrooms had to be demolished. It was an opportunity to restore the grounds in an environmentally sustainable manner, and demonstrate projects and alternatives for schools around Australia to incorporate into their own “backyards”.
