Will let you know when we're coming in next, Roy. We're about 30 klicks north of you but we often visit Sandra's sister not far up from you. Dougwe is also very close to your location as well. I wouldn't be surprised if you ran into him at Stocklands, about three blocks from you, sometime. Bill12 is another up this way, comes from Magnetic Island.

I'm stranded in Kirwan area without a tug until after the 23/4 at this stage.
Just hope Ita doesn't try and come the big bully.

We had 75mm overnight on Magnetic island , with more to come. I think we dodged the bullet from Ita, but its early days yet.It may cross the coast and reform south of Townsville in a couple of days.Only time will tell. Bill

Only if Ita blows it down south. Don,t laugh-I have had people contact me to see if the island is still here after a cyclone........Considering its an 8 mile trangle of mainly granite, I don,t think its going anywhere,soon. Contact me if you need help. Bill

hI troopy, ! Based on information I got from ''Wombat'' ?? He is Not sure about '' The Miners Right'' ? -- However he assures me that Dougwe still has His ''Stilleto's'' ?? As Dougwe was telling wombat about how he had to sleep in his Granddaughters room and it was ''Pink'' AND He was so Happy. Because the room was the same Colour Pink as his Stilleto's, ?? and his Ballerina '' Tu Tu ??
