The eye is sitting over us atm. It is calm and just waiting for the wind to pick up again but it has been fairly tame with only a few trees down around us and a flash flood warning to worry about. Developed a water leak (crap). Will have to wait to fix that one. The creeks are starting to subside so all looks good.

Craig, do the high tides still come up thru the gutters near the Barrier Reef pub area in Cairns??

They are saying it is going back out to sea and will run down the coast. I hope it doesn't pick up speed again and smash other communities down the coast. I expect we'll have a rain depression for a little while around here.

I hope it remains fairly mild for you Rob. Not raining and no wind here today. I can't hear the creek running either so things have settled down quickly.

Thanks Craig, rain has stopped but the wind is still with us, lost a few trees but you expect that.
