More than 10,300 Ergon Energy customers in the South Burnett and Gympie regional council areas lost power this afternoon … because of a crow.<\/p>\n

The network failed at 12:39pm.<\/p>\n

Residents from Tingoora to Booubyjan, west to Boondooma and east to Lower Wonga were left without power.<\/p>\n

The major centres of Wondai, Murgon, Cherbourg, Goomeri, Proston and Kilkivan were also affected.<\/p>\n

Residents at Coverty, Crownthorpe, Durong South, Greenview, Hivesville, Moffatdale, Mondure, Silverleaf, Wheatlands and Windera were also affected, as well as many smaller localities in between.<\/p>\n

An Ergon Energy spokesman said the crow flew into equipment at the Kilkivan bulk supply substation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This caused a loss of power supply to the Murgon, Kilkivan and Gootchie zone substations.<\/p>\n

Power was restored within an hour to Gootchie substation by re-routing its supply from Maryborough.<\/p>\n

Ergon crews than worked to re-energise a transformer at the Kilkivan bulk supply substation.<\/p>\n

All South Burnett customers had power restored at 2:33pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
