The extent of the size and potential impact of Cyclone Yasi which is bearing down on far North Queensland is illustrated by a graphic published by News Limited, superimposing the cyclone and its trail on a map of the USA.
My thoughts and I am sure the thoughts of others who visit this place are with colleague newsagents and suppliers in the line of Yasi tonight and tomorrow.
What a tough start to 2011 for many!
FINALLY BACK AFTER THAT DAMM CTCLONE running on a generator but still running only lost 4 days
Yes we are back after 2 days on a generator with massive headaches from working in 35+ degrees heat in the shop as the generator runs the computer, fridges and some lights. We had phone lines for a while but they cut out as well. But we can be thankful that we came through with only minor damage to the awning of the shop.
Should have added that we hope we don’t get a phone call from Xchangeit,Gotch or Network wanting to know were the Sales files are.!!!! There on the way…..
Welcome back guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
geews i have been haing withdraw symptons from no blog
Glad you got thru it ok 🙂
Hopefully the others have, too.

If you have power, please make a cuppa and drive off to Gulliver. Mum hasn’t had power since Wednesday and is hanging out for a cuppa !!!
Max fishing . Barras will be going off .
Trying to work out if i know you Max
Shaun S,
You don’t know me.
I grew up in NQ and also worked in FNQ.( ex bank johnnie ) I’m now a newsagent in NSW. I am still trying to figure out which shop is yours. I’ve narrowed it down to a few towns.
I hope all is well up your way. Weatherzone has given Townsville a 90 % chance of rain on Thursday (20-40mm). I haven’t checked the other towns.
Max, thats probably the most stalker-ish comment I’ve ever read.
‘You don’t know me….I am still trying to figure out which shop is yours. I’ve narrowed it down to a few towns.’
mum lives in a suburb called gulliver in townsville thats why i thought you must know me . coinsidence or what
Shaun S,
Does the street start with a T?
i did junk mail deliveries in Gulliver when I was a kid, and lived there for about 12 years.
I won’t ask for the name of the street in case Aaron thinks I am stalking you .
no a d
I think your Mum lives either 2 blocks away from my Mum or a couple of streets away.
Small world.
up and running in tully as well
Rick , did you cop a hiding in tully . i heard the bloke that just finished building my house lost his house and he lives at tully heads
Spent two weeks in Tully once, only rained twice, once for twn days and once for four days
was very lucky, not too much damage, lot better off than others around town
got power on at the shop today but i think they are still searching for the A/C .@$%$%^ hot
All the best to the newsagents up in the Cooktown Port Douglas area looks like one wild cyclone
Thinking of you all up north. They are a tough lot. Mum slept through part of YASI.
Lot of nervous people in the shop today, good luck to those further up the coast, I know what your going thru, just stay safe, the rest can be patched up afterwards.
