A lazy day today flying to Brisbane. For that last week there has been concern about a cyclone building up off the coast of Queensland. Until the last day or two it wasn’t clear where the storm would make land fall and whether it would hit us in Cairns. Well the storm will hit land tonight, but South of Cairns and people there have been advised to baton down the hatches or evacuate and warned of possible loss of power for 3-5 days. This morning when we left for the airport the weather was already changing – it was very humid and rainy. Our flight left a few minutes early as the pilots wanted to get away before the weather worsened. The first 30 minutes of the flight we were flying southwards through dense cloud and with some turbulence, but we had a smooth flight into Brisbane after that. We picked up a car at the airport which we will use in the next few days.
