Re: Tsunami?
Last I heard was that the wave would possibly reach 15cms but that they were going to close all QLD beaches just in case 
I drove past my beach about 20 minutes later and there were still people surfing and generally doing beach type stuff. I think it's the laid back Aussie attitude

Re: Tsunami?
I told someone at work we were raising money for the Tsuanami a few years ago.
He wanted to know how much they cost.

Re: Tsunami?
Triple M just stated that the first wave high is in the order of 20cm reducing for each from then, landfall in the NE.
Doesn't sound like much to me, but then I'm no expert. I would suggest not going in the sea in a blow-up floaty reading a paperback book and sipping your Pims, just in case you get overturned as it passes.

Straight up... Asked the cabbie how much he thought it would be and he quoted 30/35 and when we got to the car park by the wharf to get the 'Cruiser there was 32 on the clock... So 35 included the tip...

Surely if it hadn't hit Cooktown by 9:30 it wasn't going to get anywhere close to Sydney Harbour later.
