"Tropical Cyclone Sandra, set to form off the Queensland coast on
Thursday night or Friday morning, could head in one of six different
directions." Cyclone Sandra forms off North Queensland coast
I certainly don't want to see Sandra take the blue path.
"After gaining momentum for more than a week off Queensland's coast, a low-pressure system formed Cyclone Sandra about 4am on Friday. Currently a Category 1 storm, Cyclone Sandra is about 990 kilometres northeast of Mackay. Sandra is moving in a northeasterly direction at about 13 kilometres per hour, according to the Bureau of Meteorology."

2013and 100 years later the fashion has changed;-)
"As Canberra kicks up its heels for centenary celebrations, there is an invitation to reflect on the fashion that attended other milestones in the city's history. The National Capital Authority has gathered an assortment of costumes which would have been worn on Foundation Day in 1913.
They include a replica gown, hat, gloves and boots similar to those worn by Lady Denman, who announced the name of the national capital as Canberra at midday on March 12, 1913. In the crowd, one might have spotted a local woman wearing a muslin dress, a willow hat dressed with silk satin lace, cotton stockings and suede shoes.
Balloons over Canberra, the Emerald city of Oz?
Later in 2013 the exhibition will showcase the fashions that were worn at three other key events in Canberra's history. They include the opening of the provisional Parliament House in 1927, the inauguration of Lake Burley Griffin in 1964 and the opening of Parliament House in 1988. The staged exhibition will continue at the National Capital Exhibition in Commonwealth Park until December 16."
