We are back and survived
Hi everyone, just a quickie. We are are all well including my family and friends that live in Cairns and Gordonvale. We were so extremely lucky that the cyclone headed south and we were on the edge. Still a very strong edge. More detail later. It was scary. House no damage. Branches and leaves everywhere. Have been cleaning up for last three days but that is what you get for having a big yard. No power until today at 2pm....so 2 1/2 days. Landline and mobile went out this morning but back on again around 2.30pm. Only lost them this morning....so wonderful to have a little contact. Must go and do some more work. Back to normal Monday I am sure. :-) So sorry for everyone just an hour south of us.....devastating.
