Schools are closed and public transport has stopped as rare cyclone approaches Australian coast
Tropical Cyclone Alfred is forecast to cross the Queensland state coast somewhere between the Sunshine Coast region and the city of Gold Coast to the south early Saturday, Bureau of Meteorology manager Matt Collopy said.
Tropical Cyclone Alfred is forecast to take a slightly different course than originally expected as new modelling shows the category two system is likely to make landfall further north.
Cyclone Alfred is the first tropical cyclone so far south off the Queensland’s coast since Gough Whitlam was prime minister. Schools have been shut, public transport parked and two AFL matches punted.
The Bureau of Meteorology says Alfred's movements are an "evolving situation", as some south-east Queensland supermarkets shut their doors and public transport halts in anticipation of its landfall.
