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.

Bloody hell this is going to make the tracks completely different to any of the videos, I guess Marks Easter reccy of the coach road is off. Hope everyone in the area stays safe and has enough refreshments

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

Still hours away from Cairns.

Ooooh look tracking straight over home according to the forecast maps.

Genny fuelled, beer cold and all battened down. Stay safe all and hope all's well as we progress....

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.

Interesting site showing the surface wind currents.

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.

[bert56]

Have you drank all that beer yet Mark.
