ISLAND CYCLONE DAMAGE

Early information from contacts on Magnetic Island,off Townsville, indicates that the old jetty at Picnic Bay which served the island for many years may have been swept away. Many trees have been brought down , there is much beach erosion , flooding and power is off. Occupants of the controversial development at Bright Point at the entrance to the so-called safe harbour ferry terminal at Nelly Bay were evacuated.
