Thanks Tracey
Not much coming out yet due to lack of power in the area. Innisfail is getting it pretty bad, and reports of damage in Townsville and Cairns.

Where are you Bix?

Hope all is ok - sounds pretty unpleasant around your den at the moment.. :scared:

Hope all hatches are battened down and the corkscrew is coming in useful.

Take care of yourself and yours

A friend of ours from Switzerland who is over in Sydney on business was due to fly to Cairns this morning. Her flight (& all flights) have been cancelled by Qantas. She is going to come over here instead.

Yes, saw that earlier. Not good news if it carries on but I guess that's cyclone season : Not being nasty to the FNQ folks, but hope the cyclones don't come down this way :scared:
