Re: Tropical Cyclone Ellie,Qld Coast Cairns - Mackay
Any idea what the weather will be like this coming Thursday in the Cairns region? I've looked around on the internet and the general guidance is that it'll be thunder storms for the next 10 days...
How is Cairns airport doing at the moment? Any signs of temp closure?
Thanks.
i'm doing a little 'im coming to Cairns' dance (the reverse of a rain dance!)

My sister has just flown to Cairns to go on a 3 day scuba dive expedition off Green Island. My dad cancelled and is staying with us, as he can't manage the swell. Let's hope she sees some fishes and sharks amongst the murk. She was glued to the weather channel this las week with us growing ever more depressed, and I'd like her to come back slightly happier! Hope everyone up there is ok. At least it is cooler here today.

Past by the airport this morning and planes are landing as normal, I wouldnt worry to much the wrost affected areas of cairns are low lying areas such as edge hill, manoora and manunda.
These areas are getting it quite bad, but the kids are out playing in it and the water seems to disperse quite quickly.
People just seem to adjust to life in the tropics and acccept its part of life here.
we are in Redlynch and apart from it raining heavy and losing austar (sky) its life as normal.
Try not to worry to much it will send you grey

I slept through some last night but i like how it rains at night time! Very convenient for me!

Re: Tropical Cyclone Ellie,Qld Coast Cairns - Mackay
have you any idea where you would like to settle, we looked at a few appartments in the city 
some were awful, we have settled in Redlynch quite like it out here I think we made a good choice.
