Towers down, no power, no fuel for some time apparently.

As always, when you want the up-to-date sit-rep, I'd be calling a local.

Ring the local police (hopefully not diverted to regional) or a servo or two.

I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874

Now we have NBN which is light signals converted to electrical signals to hear voice, IF there is no power, then the NBN phones back up batteries in most places will be flat and NO PHONES, Don't rely on a phone to get info. It might work, then again it might not!

UHF might get some results!

If you can not phone them, then that will probably give you the answer. Use Petrol Spy to get the phone numbers and work your way across the road to find out which areas have power.
