I assume that's Derby you're referring to. There's a Dalby in Queensland but I don't think there's one in WA

Had me wondering the same thing. Cheers, xina.

Well you can all stop wondering.The info given to me stated Dalby.That is now corrected to Derby.Sad but mistakes do happen.Cheers.Ibbo.

Don't worry Ibbo. I've quite often repeated to friends something I've heard on the ABC News in the morning, only to have a relevant part of the Item change 3 or 4 times, by the 7pm Newscast. Makes one feel a real fool. Cheers, xina.

Xina,my info came from somewhere whose forecasts and reports should be spot on.Bloody SBS is not to be trusted.LOL.Cheers.Ibbo.

Hi Ibbo, whether you or I get a name a bit mixed up it's unimportant in the overall scheme of things.....when the news media do (which quite often) it is important as it can sometimes lead to undue concern. Jim

How true.To be honest when I read Dalby I thought that it may have been a little settlement that was about to cop the brunt of the cyclone.never dawned on me that they stuffed up.Alls well that ends well.Cheers.Ibbo.Oh by the way my initial info came from amate of mine in the Raaf at williamtown,he did not mention Derby only the WA coast.
