TKS '185',

You're right.

I was looking at the last swirl on the animation that's about level with Fraser Is - around 26deg S or so, and hoping that it may drop more that way as well as to the north into the Gulf....but the 'swirl' is fairly well inland.
So maybe Birdsville & the Centre etc will cop some more as well...

Whatever - it will be good for some and not so good for others...

Cheers :ok:

Ex-FSO
The last flood was down the Condamine for the Darling. How much more do you want? We actually share things around in Queensland. (But I won't name some of them..) The Flinders should get a bit of water in it, most times it is just a sandy bed.

G'Day 'FB',

Enuf to divert some of our hard-earned$$'s from that 'water buy back scheme' into real benefits for those who need it NOW..!!

And to give the ole Lake Alexandrina a 'Royal Flush'....and see how that gets rid of some of the 'acid water'....

Only my thoughts of course...others may differ...
(In life, I have found they usually do.....why is it so..??):confused:

Cheers:confused: :ok:

So Lake Eyre will be worth a look later in the year, if there are any roads left to get there.
Hopefully Mt Isa will be okay, do they build to cyclone standards there? IIRC a lot of its buildings are a bit shaky. You've got to wonder if corrugated iron is really the best type of roofing in areas that get high wind, although I realise it's traditional.
Roger... didn't think of that one. It's quite a good show.

Professor Julius Sumner Miller would have had the answer ;)

So, how has our Queensland contingent fared?
Any major damage?

FNQ Airport & Aircraft Damage - ANY??
 

So after all this mayham, and seeing all the pics of the suburbs, has there been any damage at the local small and also major airports??? Any Hangar damage? I'm surprised we have not seen pics of damage to helicopters and planes blown over, or hangar roofs blown off??

Pics anyone, or stories?? Cheers, KP

The best view of Yasi that I've seen so far. BSB :eek:
Tropical Cyclone Yasi - Satellite & Radar Timelapse

So where is AoA (Armageddon or Armageddon?)

Cairns & Townsville are still there but AoA is blown away?

That is not how he said it would happen.

Dunk Island after the cyclone | Local Cairns Cyclone News | cairns.com.au

"The whole of Cairns is protected a little by the Barren Gorge National Park Mountain Ranges to the West, Mt Kahipahlim and Chujeba peak being two of them."


...tell that the 60ft gum tree that fell to the East in my back yard and almost on to my neighbours house.

And it's Barron Gorge, not Barren. There is nothing Barren about it!

For info, if you are in the cyclone zone and have gone without services there is a $1000 per adult and $400 per child, one off payments, details and forms on this link:

Tropical Cyclone Yasi - February 2011


Ka-ching !!!!.

'Tis a bit 'barren' at times Ducky,

Was up there a couple of years ago just for a 'look see' at Kamerunga Crossing where we used to swim as kids....and catch the occasional perch... and it was as dry as a dead dingo's donger....except for under all those stones in the river bed.

It was 'out in the bush' then of course.....

Prolly not 'dry' today though....(?)

Cheers:ok:

Where would we be without helicopters ?

The SE QLD floods produced a helicopter spotters paradise for a while, i'll bet its the same up north now..:ok:






.

We got off real lightly up on the Tablelands; hardly any drama compared to Larry (which wasn't that bad for us anyway), but Tully and Cardwell copped a good caning, poor buggers.

ahhh, you can turn the tap off, we get it that it was wet up north.

Seriously, rather stout front and trough plus Anthony and now Yasi, still getting some seriously big rain totals in Vic.....and more on the way!

4 th day without power also, have a generator thankfully.

Do you need my little Honda there Doc, or did you crank up your gennie....eventually!

Looking at the charts last night we were discussing the odds of another one brewing being very high, this morning Mrs Jaba says BOM advising another one is brewing and they are keeping an eye on its development.
