My focus is on Silver Laced Wyandottes which is uncommon for my area. I do have some ISA Browns, one Cinnamon Queen (Jenny), one Golden Laced Wyandotte (Bumble Bee), and a well behaved (through training) Rhode Island Red Rooster named Harold that has his own private tractor. He has very, very long sharp spurs, but he trusts me where I can pick him up and carry him.

Tens of thousands of people are without power across south-east Queensland and northern NSW and thousands more have been ordered to evacuate as Cyclone Alfred inches its way towards the coast.

Damaging 120km/h wind gusts were already developing between Moreton Island and Byron Bay on Thursday night, potentially 24 hours or more before the historic storm's predicted landfall.


Thousands of people in Lismore and other flood-prone parts of Northern NSW were ordered to evacuate amid forecasts flooding would cut off their escape routes.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred has delivered towering king tides over 12m high across beaches on Queensland's south-east coast today.

With only hours now left to spare before Alfred is expected to make landfall, surf conditions across the Gold Coast have become even more dangerous as huge swells inundate shorelines.

Residents have captured terrifying footage of the treacherous waves as they smashed the coastline, with cyclonic swells seen at multiple beaches including Currumbin and Main Beach.

Main Beach on the Gold Coast recorded a monster swell topping 12.3 metres overnight, which Queensland Premier David Crisafulli described as the "highest ever recorded".

These 12m waves were seen three times in the past 24 hours, according to Queensland government data.

The dangerous waves have resulted in authorities asking locals to please avoid the coast until Alfred passes.

However, some keen surfers ignored the warnings and took advantage of the huge swells.

The Bureau of Meteorology issued a hazardous surf warning early today and said swell conditions are expected to be dangerous for any coastal activities.
