Queensland lychee farm rebounds after years of natural disasters

Eddie Cowie's lychee farm in central Queensland is recovering after years of devastation from natural disasters. After losing 1,500 trees in a 2019 bushfire, the farm is now producing lychees again for the first time in five years. The Cowie family faced significant financial losses, totaling over $1 million, due to the bushfire and a previous cyclone. With community support, they replanted nearly 4,000 trees and expect a bumper crop this season, aiming for $250,000 in revenue. Despite the recovery, fire authorities warn that Queensland remains at risk for bushfires this summer. Farmers are urged to prepare their properties to mitigate potential fire threats.
