G’Day All
Well looks like it’s going to be our turn, we are in direct line with T.C. Bianca it will be a bit of a race between Townsville and us. One thing we have in our favour the cyclone has to cross the coast and then come up hill to get us so by the time it gets here it will most likely break up in to a tropical low with winds only about 100kph, arr well we wont be whinging about the dry hey.

Good Luck Dave thinking about you and Irene and any of our other folk over there. Batten down the hatches and stay strong and safe. Our prayers are with you all
Cheers

Yes. Bianca may put the old Freo Doctor to shame. Don't worry about watering the agapanthus Dave. We've got half an eye on Anthony (tracking slightly more north) but we've got no hatches
or any battens for that matter

Stay safe Dave . . and fellow Westies
Cheers, Marty

Funny what 12hrs can do we have a revised report TC Bianca is curving away from us and looks like crossing right over Perth 200k north of us and will break up before it hits the coast, they will still get strong wind and rain, we will get rain but not much wind. Our mates in Townsville look like they are in for a floggin, we are watching via satellite.

Wrong, better to be to have a fizz-og than not be ready for a Cyclone.

Yeah, I heard she was weakening Dave, fingers crossed for you (and Perth) that the predictions are right. That cyclone heading for Townsville sounds crook enough without the big blighter behind it that everyone is worried about.
Fingers crossed for them as well.

Hi Everybody,
It's starting to look a bit like a non-event at the moment here in Perth, would you believe I went to the trouble of taking the roof of the temporary garage and also of the hydroponic enclosure and put a cover over the new (well newer than the old one) caravan.
We did get a hell of a storm yesterday while I was de-roof-ing, and I got soaked, possibly for nothing, curses.

Hi again
Dave - My fishing mates more lethal than Bianca so far.
Bill - Thought you would have been too clever to go again. I've got a big enough jungle in the garden to bother growing grass mate.
