Another quiet day. We were going to start sorting our equipment out for our road trip up north once we had taken Summer to school. However the weather forecasters were now predicting that our proposed destination on Thursday may be a likely point for the cyclone to cross onto the land.
It is a category 2 cyclone at present, and the authorities are preparing for the worst.
Sand bags are being filled at stations along the coast. The Brisbane water taxis are being suspended from this evening and being hoisted onto dry land. Schools are being told they may have to close on Wednesday through to Friday.
Forecasters are saying that the cyclone may bring up to 600mm of rainfall in the coming few days.
Not great - cyclone, rain, full moon and spring tides. Covid did for our visit to Maroochydore last time. Cyclone Alfred is going to delay our visit this time.Read more
