Will be busy at home cleaning up and getting all the pot plants and outdoor table and chairs ect ect inside before Friday night. Will chain the camper trailer to the fence and fill the boat with water. Have cancelled my fishing trip to Hinchinbrook this weekend as I don't think the tent pegs would hold up in the wind. Bloody cyclones.

It seems to be moving southwest which may have it skirting the Coast.

Still hours away from Cairns.

A bloke here showed up yesterday evening to start this morning and he showed up at breakfast at mess and is heading home. He has a goose neck at Malanda (how ever it's spelt) and is heading back to sort it all out.

I'm not sure why he even showed up this week with that cyclone coming. Hope he gets everything sorted. He has a 12hour drive home from here at work.

Hope all the swaggers up this way are safe and sound. If you are up near Mareeba and need somewhere to shelter will always have a bit of room.

I think we have dodged a bullet but BD you may cop some wind. We will all get the rain.

Damn I will have to drink all this beer now.
