• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The job applicants need a special attribute.....able to withstand cyclones. It's batten down the hatches time, Cyclone Hamish opposite Townsville cranked up to high level cat 4 today. And aiming straight at Hamilton and other Islands. Wind speed around the centre 260 kph, central pressure 950 kPa, and heading this way south-east and parrallel to the coast....it's a nasty one.
 
As of 23.00 the news reports are not encouraging for the entire Whitsundays.
Most of the resort islands have been evacuated I gather.

It's wound up to a catagory 5 overnight. Still tracking slowly south east parrallel to the coast Sunday morning. Don't like the look of this one.
