Lol, yes thank you, Craig. Not without losses for both parties I assure you. For the inconvenience of having to fly away for ten or so minutes they probably took the same off my life for frightening what was left of the daylight out of me!

Dear Amelia,
What else should we end a sentence with?
I could say that this is but "a tree after a storm", but it is special, and with you, I agree. Writing beautifully in English seems more difficult than painting beautifully with a camera.
Now if there is one conclusion that I should jump to, it is that I am delighted that you found this little piece of Solomon Island paradise. It sdeserves to be looked at. But it is remote, believe me. I came back dehydrated, saturated, hungry, bitten, sunburnt ... but exhilarated, grateful, appreciative and in love with the people and the place.

Hi Robyn,
I am quite excited that you have found this photo and my gallery on Panoramio/Google earth. I will have to come and visit you and bring my camera and see what I can record around Jimna. For me, Jimna is a special place too. Growing up in Imbil, Jimna was always there in our thinking and yet almost unreachable, for there were no direct road access and what was was often impassable because Buggery Hill was too steep, or the creek was too deep, of the red pinch was washed out.
So Jimna was the place that let us know what kind of flood to expect. Jimna was the next but remote forest township. Jimna was the Range. Jimna was up above Yabba Falls. Jimna was not "up the creek", for that was defined as the Yabba Valley below the Falls - Jimna was "up the top". And in the end Jimna got a firetower. Jimna was a more a mythical place: it was there somewhere but it wasn't quite real. It influenced our lives, but it was not part of our direct experience. Like Jerusalem.
Since childhood of course, I have visited Jimna a number of times, camped at Peach Trees, stopped in at Yabba Station and Kingaham Station. Explored the Falls (top and bottom), and stopped for a drink and a Drumstick at your shop.
I sometimes leave a little disappointed, for Jimna is "our Jimna" and has a special place in our identity with place. But the folk I have met there do not have any sense of relationship or interest in Imbil. I understand that. Kilcoy, or Goomeri or Murgon or even Moore mean more to the Jimna folk than their downstream neighbour. I find it all interesting.
It is a beautiful area, with character and history. It is a special environment with strength but fragility. Love it, Robyn.
I wish you well with your small business, and with your mission. The Forestry Department has some publications that refer to the history of Jimna and some are available on-line.
Compiling a list of all enrolees at Jimna School would be worthwhile, especially if you had the list available in your store for locals and returnees to see and to remind them of the others in their class. In my experience all sort of stories flow from that.
And if your little business doesn't turn out to be a goldmine, then I trust you find some in the creek.
I look forward to meeting you one day.
Ian (currently in Tonga)
