The joke going around town (Cairns) is that Brisbane will get the cyclone but we’ll still cop the Insurance price hike to compensate. I’m already paying $5.5k p.a. for home & contents, so I’m hoping the thought only remains a joke.

BNE airport pretty busy this morning, lots of leisure travellers.
Wind is still calm for now..

Looks like it’s trending south, would not be surprised if reality sees it cross south of the CBD, probably Redlands City

Looking that way now

I'm flying MEL-BNE on Saturday 8. If they lose power in the city, do we think flights will still operate?

Sydney to Gold Coast and back on the same day for me, a status run to get to Silver, which no longer seems worth earning. So I'm hoping for cancellation and refund. But the return is a separate booking, so both flights will need to be cancelled....
