Was in Queensland only for months.
And looked in awe at what historic cyclones had done to landscapes.

So I went shopping last night and this afternoon
And found the supermarkets very quiet. Shelves full.
Bottle-shops the same.

Bought a few beers as a precaution because I'm sure that's what Queenslanders would do.

Perthlings seem to have forgotten the tail of Cyclone Alby coming through in 1978.
