I mean, she's already got the dress for it 😆

Nothing like a little Rapid Unscheduled Dissassembly for a Monday arvo.

Don't make me boycott your food truck 🤣

I'll pour one out for it tonight.

I wish I still had my childhood Commodore 64. Been on the lookout for one for a while now, but even the fixer-uppers are worth heaps. The days of $20 garage-sale specials are long gone!

Same and I'm already in the office -curls up in the corner and cries-

Easy come, easy go.

bystanders take cover

My parents, brother and his family all live in Townsville, so I'm up there at least once a year myself.

The locals are actually thinking this will be a fairly 'baby' cyclone that they should ride out fairly easily (fingers crossed). That said, the panic buying has still been nuts. First-timers expecting they'll need a year's supply of bottled water, when you can just fill buckets and the bathtub ahead of time and have all you need for most purposes.

Most people are fairly prepared. My dad is in full-time care due to advanced dementia, and a lot of the staff there have actually moved in with the residents to ensure they've got proper care should everything go south.

I've thought EXACTLY the same.

I've gone down the occasional rabbit hole of watching YouTube videos of this kind of thing, and I think there may have been a TV series a few years back following drivers and crews of different trains around the country, these Nullarbor ones included. Plus the whole Ghan slow-travel thing on SBS too.

Doesn't burn as well though.
