So far so good for us!!!

 So far so Good!!  For us at least.  Not so good further north but the Queensland cyclone did cross the coast in a not too populated area thank goodness.  It is still going on so we don't know how everyone fared as yet. There were two cyclones active at the same time. The other one impacted the Northern Territory. It was a category 4 and we are still waiting to hear how people fared there as well.
We had a lot of wind and rain overnight but woke at 5am to VERY calm conditions and a break in the rain. Mum belted Dad over the head and said "get up ..... it's NOT RAINING!!  There's NO WIND!!  We're going to the BEACH".  Very dramatic my Mum. Off we went. It was fantastic.  There's two creeks at the beach that aren't  usually there but other than that no problems.  The only people there were dog people so I had a great time.  We didn't get blown away. We didn't even get wet. How good was that??

Pretty, aye?? 

Lots of good sniffin'

Crikey ..... would this be ok for Frankie's pee stop photo for the marathon.

Not our usual blue skies, aye??

Lots of pumice stone!  AND an apple core.  I ate it.

When we got back home it started raining again and it is supposed to get worse as the cyclone travels closer to us but it will  weaken as it travels over land and will finally turn into just a rain depression so we will be safe.  The river is quite high but it hasn't gone over our jetty yet. That might still happen but that's no problem. We had 6 inches of rain overnight and a lot of roads are closed but it's HOT so I think we are better off than a lot of you blokes with high winds, sleet and snow and COLD, aye??
A big thankyou to everyone for worrying about us. I sure hope everyone further north stays safe.  

Our river this morning. It's high but it's been higher.

The jetty next door goes under before ours and it's still ok.

Our jetty is still high and dry, aye??

One bad thing happened at the little girls house. Their Dad tripped over something HE left lying around and fell heavily on his arm. They are at the hospital now having it ex-rayed as he was in quite a lot of pain last night.  Mum couldn't get there to look after the girls because of the road closures so they all had to go.  I feel sorry for the hospital. Those girls will wreck it.

Wanna run ..... Love Charlie.

pee-ess!!!  It's broken ..... he's getting a cast put on it NOW!!!!!  Mum can't wait to sign it.
