Theres a TC heading in towards Cape York - its a category 5 - the same as
Cyclone Tracey that hit Darwin and devastated the place. Anyone travelling
in that area should hunker down somewhere safe for the next few days - safe
is with locals who know what they are doing, have plenty of food and water,
and in a building which can survive the winds. Better still get the hell out
of it and head South asap. Cairns will get some very high tides and may have
some flooding to contend with. Wind warnings for 200kph have already been
issued.

Although Cairns is not currently under threat, the following website
provides some useful information for those in the path of the cyclone:
