The discovery came just as a two-year ban on the sale of green prawns from the Clarence River was due to end.

For four weeks Sarvan Singh has salvaged what fruit he can from the floor of his banana plantation in the Tweed Valley. Highly destructive winds ripped through his 8-hectare farm on the Cudgen plateau last month, knocking plants with full bunches to the ground. It has left him without an income for the next year. Mr Singh said the winds were too much for half of his 20,000 trees, which he had tied and propped up. He said he had lost about 90 per cent of his production.

As the world's deadliest bee pest continues its slow spread across Australia, beekeepers are seeking out chemical-free treatments. Beekeeper Jackie Morrison is looking for an alternative to miticide strips, a chemical treatment used in hives to kill varroa mite. She says her customers want products free of chemical residues. "They want to see clean, natural, pure, unadulterated honey and wax and that's exactly what we aim to keep producing," she said.
