I took these cairns at Bellever in 2008, couldn’t walk up there now of course but good to see them again #Dartmoor #Devon #bronzeage #cairns #photography

Some pics from today's walk from Hethpool to the Border (and beyond!)

Morning on the Coral Sea.

New by me in Paradise, Air Niugini's inflight magazine... I write about five great walking tours in Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Singapore and Hong Kong, covering art, food, bars and sport in those destinations.

My five tours start on page 34, which this link should take you to: https://issuu.com/businessadvantage/docs/web_paradise_jul-sep_2024_fnl_compressed/34

[the first photo is Queen Maeve's Cairn, on the top of Knocknarea, near Sligo - so not in the study area, but one I have had the pleasure of hiking up to see]

I hope people understand that the horrific #flood waters in and around #Cairns #FNQ will drain into the sea, taking all of the detritus from towns and villages and cities with it.
So, it's not someone throwing a plastic straw into the sea.
#ClimateCatastrophe affects everything.

Major flooding is affecting #Cairns, Australia and Far North Queensland as the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Jasper continue to drench the region with persistent rain.

This animation shows the recent satellite view + rain detected by radar:

Significant flooding (which is submerging aircraft) is occurring at Cairns Airport this afternoon with heavy rain continuing over the region.

#CycloneJasper will make landfall late on Wednesday (local time) between Hope Vale and Cairns, Queensland, #Australia.

The slow-moving cyclone will produce heavy rain in the vicinity of #Cairns, which will increase the risk of localized flash flooding overnight into Thursday.

#CycloneJasper is forecast to reintensify as it approaches the northern coastline of Queensland, Australia

Jasper will most likely make landfall somewhere between Cape Flattery and Cardwell. This animation of wind gusts using the latest ICON model run shows Jasper striking #Cairns on Wednesday:

Well then, predictions for Cyclone Jasper are getting more precise. Right now, modelling shows an almost direct hit with Cairns and Mareeba on Wednesday, category kind-of-scary.

I still expect it to divert, probably to the south, but that's based on what the last few did, not science. I am slightly more nervous than I was this morning.
