Tropical North Queensland

Why oh why did we move up here?????
What a wild and woolley weekend we had. It blew a gale, there were rains and more winds. But we were ok. Poor Bowen (about 1 hrs drive from here) cop'd it, but we ain't seen nothing yet.

Cyclone Yasi is on it's way and it doesn't look friendly. Tape will definately be put up on the windows and a Cyclone kit will be placed into the 4WD. Not scared, just nervous.

It is a harrowing time, we have been in Disaster aversion mode at work also, making sure everything is tied down and secure. All the kids are worried about however, is if there is school.
Well they haven't shut these down yet. But watch this space......

In saying that generally, Mackay is a beautiful place to live - the winters are awesome, not too cold and always sunny. I'll talk about the summer once I get through this one :-)
