Ageing mind and impact of social media on the brain up for debate at Robert Boyle Summer School June 4 to 7 What effect does social media have on the mind? What changes take place in the ageing mind and what goes on in the minds of serial killers? All will be revealed as avid conversationalists and the culturally curious gather for four days of intriguing discussion and debate. 'Mind and Matter' is the theme for this year's Robert Boyle Summer School, a not-to-be-missed gathering from June 4 to 7 that promises thought-provoking talks, discussions and entertainment in Waterford city and Lismore. This year begins with a special opening evening with SETU forensic psychologists Dr Lorraine Bowman Grieve and Dr Jennifer O'Mahoney as they explore our fascination with true crime and serial killers, followed by a weekend full of engaging conversation and social events. The Summer School is a weekend event for adults interested in exploring the role of science in our culture, organiser, Eoin Gill said. It's an annual pilgrimage to the south east for many from across Ireland. "The annual Robert Boyle Summer School is in the tradition if Irish cultural summer schools -very much a Festival for adults, not a school; focusing on Science, but not for Scientists," Eoin Gill said. "We explore where ideas come from and how they impact and affect how we see the world today. The annual Robert Boyle Summer School brings together speakers across various fields on a particular theme relevant to society. This year's Mind and Matter theme will resonate with our audience and we look forward to really good, mind-opening conversation and debate. "We're honoured that this year, we will be joined by excellent speakers and experts in their field, among these Prof. William Eaton head of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Georgia Southern University; Dr Emma Farrell from the Department of Psychology at Maynooth University, and Regius Professor Rose Anne Kenny from the Trinity College who leads the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing and is author of the best-selling Age Proof : The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life "We're privileged to also have Prof. Mark Cunningham from Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience with us for the 2026 Festival, along with Prof. Luke Gibbons from Maynooth University. In addition to the talks and discussions, the weekend features an array of entertainment, social gatherings and the iconic Garden Party in the stunning surrounds of Lismore Castle Gardens," he explained. The Robert Boyle Summer School is organised by CALMAST, South East Technological University's STEM Engagement Centre in partnership with Lismore Heritage Centre, with support from Waterford City and County Council, Lismore Castle Estates, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), local industry West, Waters, Sanofi, Haleon and Bausch and Lomb.

My guest this week on the Travel Tales with Fergal Podcast is Les Walsh, Head Concierge at the stunning Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore, County Waterford.Ardmore is a beautiful seaside village that is close to my heart, and a place I return to every summer for swims off the pier. Taking its name from the Irish Aird Mhór, meaning “great height”, Ardmore is steeped in history and local tradition, with strong links to Saint Declan, who is said to have founded a Christian community here in the early 5th century.The Cliff House Hotel sits dramatically above the sea and is one of Ireland's most special five-star hotels. Home to the Michelin-starred House Restaurant, and the newest member of Ireland's Blue Book, it has helped place Ardmore firmly on the map as a luxury destination.Les is a member of the prestigious Les Clefs d'Or, the international association of professional hotel concierges, and in this episode he shares his insights into great hospitality, the magic of Ardmore, and the experiences that make this corner of Waterford so memorable including nearby Lismore, Youghal, the Mahons Falls in the Comeragh mountains and foody favourite town Dungarvan on the Greenway.We also touch on Ardmore's rich heritage from St Declan's Monastery to its 12th-century Round Tower, in a conversation full of sea, stories, history and five-star hospitalityI love the Blue Book because they are often family-owned and run Irish Country House Hotels, Manor Houses, castles and restaurants.

This Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday, taking its name from the gospel reading of the 4th Sunday of Easter from the gospel of John and his account of the parable of the Good Shepherd. In Ireland, it is also known as Vocation Sunday as it is a day set aside for prayer for vocations to priesthood and the religious life.On part two of the podcast this week we share three different pieces linking into the theme of vocation:Fr Mike Schmitz reflects on "What's my vocation? What should I do with my life?” It's a question on many hearts, maybe even our own. He gives some direction that can lead to an answer for ourselves or someone we know. He shares how a vocation is more than just figuring out whether we're called to married life or religious life, and it's about more than just finding out what we like to do. As he breaks down three different types of vocation we all have, he draws a practical path we can follow to pursue holiness. Fr Conor McGrath shares how he promotes faith and the call to the priesthood through short video clips on Instagram and Facebook taken from an interview on The Way.ieDuring their Spring meeting, the Bishops launched a Vocations Monstrance blessed by Pope Leo. Bishop Phonsie Cullinan of Waterford of Lismore, who chairs the Bishops' Council for Vocations, highlights the central role of prayer in nurturing vocations, said, “The Holy Father Pope Leo XIV blessed our new monstrance in the Vatican last November, which has been designated as a Vocations Monstrance. The bishops' launch today marks an important moment in the Church's ongoing commitment to promote and foster vocations to the priesthood and to religious life. Our monstrance will be travel around the island of Ireland to focus minds and hearts, and to ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into the fields of people's lives today. As Catholics, we all share the important responsibility to build the Kingdom of God as we practice our faith.....Our initiative aims to encourage prayer for vocations and to deepen young people's awareness of God's call in their lives". Interview from The Way.ie.In part one we have our regulur liturgical odds and ends including a reminder to listeners that next Thursday is May Eve which in Ireland has the tradition of going out to bless the land and gardens and seek God's blessing on the crops for the summer ahead. Also of course, May is the month dedicated to Mary so a reminder to set up your May altars next week.In part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel which this weeks is from John 10:1-10 and the parable of the Good Shepherd. As well as reflecting on the call to vocation the gospel also asks us the question, are we listening for the voice of Jesus in our lives?Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

A trailblazer of Australia's arts and cultural landscape, Aunty Rhoda Roberts has been laid to rest on Country in her hometown of Lismore. Hundreds gathered to honour a life dedicated to the arts and elevating Indigenous voices.
Ever increasing record high flood levels are marked on the side of Lismore’s flood levee. Lismore, a town in Northern New South Wales is dissected by two major rivers. When there’s heavy rainfall, water flows down from the surrounding hills, slowing at the bottom and spreading across the floodplain. The town’s residents know floods, their houses are built high, some four metres off the ground in the canopies of trees. Many have flood plans, keeping kayaks and dinghies tethered to their homes in case of emergency. On February 27 2022, water inundated the town, sweeping away cars, stranding residents on rooftops and filling houses with inches of mud. In the weeks that followed volunteer hubs sprang up to feed and clothe locals forced to shelter in tents and cars as they struggle to recover with minimal support and start to clean out and rebuild their homes in the trees.

Welcome to the Cinema Australia Podcast. My name is Matthew Eeles. In this episode, I'm joined by Floodland director Jordan Giusti to discuss this very topical documentary set in flood-prone Lismore, where residents face life-changing decisions after devastating floods. A man copes pragmatically, his friend turns activist, and an Indigenous social worker builds a healing centre. Jordan is an award-winning director based in Naarm (Melbourne). Prior to Floodland, Jordan completed numerous short films, including Grevillea and Reptile, which we also discuss here. Jordan is also a two-time Australian Directors Guild Awards nominee for his short film work and has had notable festival screenings. As regular Cinema Australia readers and listeners will know, I usually publish my interviews prior to a film's release, but I was a bit late with this one as I've been on WA Made Film Festival duties over here in Perth. Floodland is still screening at some cinema locations, so be sure to check out the film's website. Anyway… enjoy.

Interview by Ali WilliamsGenerally speaking, bands spend years in rehearsal rooms crafting a “carefully curated sonic identity.” Others however, make an EP in a uni dorm room in a single day just to “see what happens”. Meet Tom, the founding member of Lismore's Media Puzzle, who definately falls in the latter category. In this week's chat with HEAVY Mag's Ali Williams, Tom proves that sometimes the best things start as a joke and spiral wildly into something very real. What began as a one-man experiment with a drum machine and a “let's just put it out and see” attitude quickly snowballed into a full five-piece outfit reverse-engineering lo-fi chaos into tight, high-energy live shows . Tom describes Media Puzzle as falling somewhere under punk, synth punk and the wonderfully unserious label of “egg punk.” Yes, egg punk. It's fast, scrappy, lo-fi, and occasionally powered by a drum machine that had to be dragged from bedroom obscurity into full band reality . The early worlds of Media Puzzle had no band at all, it was just Tom in his bedroom with a laptop, guitar ,drum machine he could use with synth samples. After showing his one day work of art to his friends, they loved it and wanted in. Tom found himself pulling apart his own recordings, rebuilding them piece by piece like some musical Rubik's Cube. ranslating bedroom experiments into something a five-piece could detonate onstage . There's something beautifully chaotic about having to reverse engineer your own songs because you can't quite remember how you made them in the first place. Most bands polish demos. Media Puzzle disassemble them like they're defusing a bomb. Their upcoming run supporting Regurgitator is a genuine full-circle moment for the band. Ten shows across Ulladulla, Canberra, Albury, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Bathurst are locked in , kicking off March 13 , marking their first proper tour invite and easily their biggest leap so far . For a few members, it's poetic. Bassist Kelly once snuck into a Regurgitator show at 16 . Now she's sharing the bill. That's not just ironic nostalgia. That's rock and roll karma doing its job. The timing couldn't be better. Media Puzzle are dropping a new album around the same time the tour kicks off . According to Tom, it's a step in a “somewhat different direction” while still sounding like them, which in Media Puzzle terms probably means faster, weirder and somehow tighter all at once. The interview drifts into everything from the widely recognised, now redundant Southern Cross University's Bachelor of Contemporary Music that helped shape Tom and a generation of musicians drawn to the Northern Rivers, to the glamorous reality of balancing band life with a day job at Bunnings. Rock and roll might be chaotic, but sausage sizzles keep the lights on. What makes Media Puzzle compelling isn't just the genre-blending, DIY approach or the scrappy origins. It's the freedom. Tom describes the project as something without rules, a space to try anything and learn in public . In an industry obsessed with strategy, that kind of creative recklessness feels refreshing. From dorm-room experiment to national tour support for one of Australia's most iconic alternative acts, Media Puzzle are no longer just “seeing what happens.” They're making it happen. And come March 13, they'll be doing it loud, fast and proudly egg-shaped.

We chat with filmmaker Jordan Giusti about Floodland a film which documents the personal stories of the Lismore floods from 2022. Floodland, a deeply moving story of love, loss, and land, is screening at Nova on Wed 25th Feb at 6:30pm. The film focus' on community response. The screening will be followed by a Q&A featuring the director and key participants in the film.
Filmmaker Jordan Giusti's Floodland is an impactful documentary that takes audiences to the flood-prone landscape of Lismore, NSW. Thousands of people call the region home, and yet, due to the climate crisis and government inaction, they find themselves in horrifying situations where their homes are swept away, they lose friends and family, and pets and livestock end up as collateral damage for an ongoing emergency that has no solution in sight. Resilience is a word that's used for those who call Lismore home, the flood capital of Australia, but Jordan's documentary shows that there is a way to solve this crisis.Shot with an immediacy and the level of compassion and understanding that elevates the crisis at hand, Floodland is a powerful document for the region, the people who call it home, and their future.The following interview sees Nadine Whitney, someone who lived in the region, interview Jordan and producer Rachel Forbes about making the film. This interview was recorded ahead of the films screenings at the Sydney Film Festival, and is being published now ahead of Floodland's release around Australia this week.For screening dates and information, visit Floodland.com.au.Sign up for the latest interviews, reviews, and more via https://www.thecurb.com.au/subscribe/ Hosted on Acast.

Thousands of people call the region home, and yet, due to the climate crisis and government inaction, they find themselves in horrifying situations where their homes are swept away, they lose friends and family, and pets and livestock end up as collateral damage for an ongoing emergency that has no solution in sight. Resilience is a word that's used for those who call Lismore home, the flood capital of Australia, but Jordan's documentary shows that there is a way to solve this crisis.Shot with an immediacy and the level of compassion and understanding that elevates the crisis at hand, Floodland is a powerful document for the region, the people who call it home, and their future.The following interview sees Nadine Whitney, someone who lived in the region, interview Jordan and producer Rachel Forbes about making the film. This interview was recorded ahead of the films screenings at the Sydney Film Festival, and is being published now ahead of Floodland's release around Australia this week.For screening dates and information, visit Floodland.com.au.Sign up for the latest interviews, reviews, and more via https://www.thecurb.com.au/subscribe/ Hosted on Acast.

Lismore sits at the confluence of two rivers in New South Wales. Covering more than 1,300 square kilometres, it is home to more than 44,000 people. In 2022, it was hit by a huge flood, the highest on record, followed by a smaller, though still devastating, second flood. Five lives were lost in the disasters, along with 500 properties, making 2,000 people homeless at a cost of AUD 350M in damages. The event raised critical questions about flood prevention and planning. It underscored the urgent need for more resilient approaches to town and city planning, that anticipate extreme events and protect communities and economic activities more effectively. Engeny were initially brought in to improve flood protection, before the flooding demonstrated the existential need for this work. This episode looks at the protection work so far, how it has evolved after the flood, and future plans to meet the increasing risks.

In this festive episode, Janina sits down with Duncan Gammie, founder of The Wee Vinoteca, to build the ultimate Christmas Wine Box. Together they explore pairings for classic holiday dishes, taste through six standout bottles, and unpack why English fizz, Greek Assyrtiko and South African Chenin Blanc belong at your Christmas table this year. Shownotes [01:37] The Christmas Pairing Game begins - smoked salmon, prawn cocktail, Stilton, roast turkey, roast beef, nut roast, mince pies, sticky toffee pudding and panettone - what are the perfect wine pairings? [21:45] Duncan shares his background, how The Wee Vinoteca started, which recently won Wine Club of the Year from IWC. [24:26] Introducing the Christmas Wine Box - six wines designed to cover the entire holiday table with versatility and balance. [24:48] Black Chalk Classic Cuvée – English Sparkling Wine (Hampshire, UK) Duncan explains chalk soils, vintage differences, and why English sparkling has become a staple for holiday starters, seafood and celebrations. [29:04] Visiting English vineyards - where to go. [31:35] Muses Estates, Assyrtiko (mainland Greece) A structured, saline white that handles seafood, richer starters and vegetable dishes. Duncan compares mainland Assyrtiko with Santorini, discussing old vines, wild ferments and gastronomy pairings. [37:45] The conversation widens to Greek grapes and styles – Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, Savatiano, Roditis and today's fresher, high-quality Retsina – with advice on discovering them by the glass or in tastings. [39:20] Brookdale, Old Vine Chenin Blanc (Paarl, South Africa) Why Chenin shines at Christmas: texture, generosity, acidity and ageing potential. References to producers like Lismore and stylistic comparisons to white Burgundy. [43:40] Roccafiore, Sangiovese (Umbria, Italy) Fresh Italian red ideal for antipasti, turkey and Boxing Day dishes.

[57:17] Duncan and Janina note that PX is usually perfect in small pours, talk about visiting Montilla-Moriles near Córdoba, and tempt listeners with the idea of tapas-hopping through a city that boasts four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. [57:46] Asked which wine he always opens at Christmas that isn't necessarily in the box, Duncan admits it's English fizz – a sparkling wine he and his wife love and a non-negotiable part of their celebrations.

The South East Science Festival is back from November 8 to 16, and this year's extensive programme of free and ticketed events across Waterford city and county, the Suir Valley and Carlow includes even more fascinating daytime and evening events in colleges, libraries, theatres and pubs. All of the events across all three counties are engaging, all fun and all showcase how relevant all things science are in our everyday lives. Novel events this year include the science of wine tasting and pairing, coastal change, fossils, and copper mining. Recent approval of the capital programme supporting the Veterinary Places Activation Programme (VPAP) and the creation a new veterinary school at SETU is a massive boost to the south east as a STEM cluster. Such investment is expected to spur even greater interest in this year's Festival programme of 90-plus events, which is supported by Research Ireland. This year, Science Week celebrates its 30th anniversary with the theme Then. Today. Tomorrow. Managed by Research Ireland, Science Week 2025 marks thirty years of harnessing the power of curiosity and collaboration to advance science in Ireland. Speaking ahead of Science Week, Director of Research for Society at Research Ireland, Dr Ruth Freeman, said: "Since its inception, Science Week has grown into a cornerstone of Ireland's national calendar, inspiring generations to explore the role of science in shaping our world - past, present, and future. "Delivered through a dynamic nationwide programme and on the ground through agencies such as CALMAST, the South East Technological University's STEM engagement centre, Science Week includes in-person events, a widespread media campaign, and engaging educational content for both primary and secondary schools. The Science Week Funding Programme supports a diverse range of activities, ensuring science is accessible and exciting for all." Engaging and fun presenters, Mark Langtry, Ken Farhuhar and Cas Kramer are back by popular demand on this year's South East Science Festival programme. And libraries have opened their doors, and their teams are coordinating and marketing events across venues such as Ardkeen, Clonmel, Cappoquin, Lismore, Dungarvan, Carlow town and Tallow. This year's Festival theme, "Then. Today. Tomorrow", is central to the extensive programme of traditionally popular as well as new events on this year's South East Science Festival programme across Waterford, Tipperary and Carlow, Dr Sheila Donegan, Co-Founder and Co-Director of CALMAST, the South East Technological University's STEM engagement centre, said. "We're really looking forward to engaging with all sections of the community, from primary school children right up to adult-only audiences for this year's South East Science Festival programme. It's fun, it's engaging, it's entertaining and educational. We're delighted to work with Research Ireland and with our partners and sponsors, key among them the local authorities, SETU, key STEM employers in the region. "We now invite members of the public to peruse the schedule of events running across libraries, theatres, pubs, educational hubs, museums, and so much more and to book their place. We will be exploring the science behind wine tasting and pairing. We will also mix comedy and science, and will be looking at why copper was mined in Waterford and if it could be again. We're examining fossils in the city, will host a coastal change workshop and walk and much more. Many events booked out within hours last year, and we expect the very same for 2025," Dr Donegan said. Among the South East Science Festival partners this year are internationally renowned street art festival specialists Spraoi. TV Honan, Spraoi Director, said: "Spraoi performances are a mix of art, engineering, and technology. Human creativity is the common link, and we love working with SETU colleagues, making imaginative connections between art and science." For more on the South East Science Festival programme...

When there's a plane crash, a bomb blast, a flood or a pandemic, Lucy Easthope's phone starts ringing. This is how she stays cheerful and trusts her gut in the face of never-ending disasters. (R)When Lucy was 10 years old, she was at home with her dad watching a Liverpool Football Club match when all hell broke loose.The Hillsborough Disaster, as it came to be known, was a fatal crowd crush that killed almost 100 people and as Lucy and her dad watched it all unfold on the television, she remembers him shouting, "Someone needs to sort this!"That formative experience inspired Lucy to go on to become what's called an 'emergency planner' or 'disaster specialist'.When a plane crashes, a bomb explodes, a city floods or a virus spreads across the planet, Lucy's phone begins to ring and she springs into action.Lucy's speciality is the care and return of personal items to grieving families, through which she's learned that a cup of tea and truthfulness are as important as DNA testing.Further informationWhen the Dust Settles is published by Hodder & Stoughton.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores natural disasters, floods, famine, starvation, plane crashes, train crashes, mass death, tsunami, Bali, Japan, tube bombing, stadium crush, mass panic, disaster relief, survival, mental health, coping mechanisms, high cortisol, adrenaline, Grenfell, pandemic, terrorism, terror attack, Lismore, tornado, covid, ebola.

As a child, chef Graeme Stockdale was embarrassed by the smell of sauerkraut and pickles that would trail him from his Polish and German grandparents' home. A transformative encounter with a barbecued duck in Singapore changed his life, though nothing would prepare him for two monumental floods in his adopted region of Lismore, NSW.Graeme was only a boy when he was introduced to the power and ferocity of fire. As a nine-year-old living in Albany, Western Australia he lit a fire out of curiosity on a neighbour's property. It was the look on his mother's face that turned his experience from awesome into terrifying.Graham grew up with the flavours of his grandparents' German and Polish ancestry, raised by a single mum, and experienced social isolation brought on by the judgement of kids at school. After the barbecued duck experience, his whole world became focused on food, and he eventually opened his own restaurant in Lismore, NSW.Graeme survived two major floods, and in the aftermath, cooked on his barbecue non-stop for weeks, outside his ruined restaurant, feeding his community with help from volunteers.Further informationRead more about Graeme's restaurant in Lismore, The Stockpot Kitchen.Graeme's cookbook, Red Hot & Smokin'! was published by New Holland Publishers in 2019.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.

I yarn with proud Widjabul Wia-bal woman Larissa Baldwin-Roberts — a lifelong community organiser, strategist, and changemaker. From growing up in Lismore surrounded by stories of resistance and survival, to leading major campaigns on climate, justice, and rights, Larissa shares how her family’s legacy shaped her political thinking and commitment to grassroots action. We explore the aftermath of the Voice referendum, the threats facing Treaty processes, and the urgent need to reframe how we organise, persuade, and protect First Nations rights on our own terms. Larissa reflects on the lessons passed down from her father and community Elders, the role of strategic activism, and why self-determination doesn’t need government permission. With deep insights into the political moment we’re in, this episode also shines a light on Indigenous-led leadership, featuring reflections on the work of Aunty Mary Graham and the power of Aboriginal logic and philosophy.

Described as ‘the first lady of Irish cycling', Dervla Murphy was renowned for her intrepid spirit, and she remained passionate about travel, writing, politics, conservation and bicycling until her death in 2022. In this episode of the Slightly Foxed podcast we have gathered a number of those who knew and worked with Dervla to discuss the life and work of this extraordinary travel writer. Gail Pirkis and Steph Allen, from Slightly Foxed, worked with Dervla during their time at John Murray Publishers. Rose Baring was her editor at Eland Books and Ethel Crowley was a friend and editor of the recent anthology, Life at Full Tilt: The Selected Writings of Dervla Murphy. Together with our host Rosie Goldsmith they discuss Dervla's early years and inspiration, consider the experience of publishing her work and examine her place in the Ireland of her time. Born in Lismore, Ireland, in 1931, Dervla lived there until the end of her life. She was an only child and her parents, who originated from Dublin, encouraged her independence and love of books. Her father – who later became the much-loved Waterford County Librarian ‒ had been involved in the Irish republican movement and had served time in Wormwood Scrubs prison for his activities. Dervla spent her childhood caring for her mother who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, and then left school at 14 to care for her full-time. When her parents died in 1962 Dervla, at the age of 30, found herself free to travel. She acquired a bicycle and set out on a journey to Istanbul, through Iran and on to India during one of the worst winters in recent memory. This would become the subject of her first, and most famous book, Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle, published in 1965. There followed numerous voyages with her trusty steed and 25 more books, including her highly acclaimed autobiography Wheels within Wheels. She won worldwide praise for her writing and many awards, including the Edward Stanford Award for an Outstanding Contribution to Travel Writing and a Royal Geographical Society Award. Dervla took huge risks, mostly travelling alone and in famously austere style, whether in far-flung Limpopo, the Andes, Gaza or closer to home, where she documented the worst of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Battling injury and political circumstance, she immersed herself in the lives of ordinary people caught in the shifting tides of power that dictated the terms on which they lived. To these people, she listened. What resulted was some of the most astute and compelling travel writing of the twentieth century. As the table choose their favourite book of Dervla's, we also have our usual round-up of current reading, including the latest mystery from Kate Atkinson, Death at the Sign of the Rook, the Booker Prize-nominated The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng, and Jon Dunn's monograph on the hummingbird, The Glitter in the Green. For episode show notes, please see the Slightly Foxed website. Opening music: Preludio from Violin Partita No. 3 in E Major by Bach Hosted by Rosie Goldsmith Produced by Philippa Goodrich

Những người cư trú trái phép sống trong các ngôi nhà từng bị bỏ hoang và hư hại do nước ở vùng Northern Rivers của bang New South Wales đã tuyên bố sẽ ở lại, bất chấp cam kết của Thủ hiến bang về việc phá dỡ những căn nhà này. Những người cư trú trái phép nói rằng họ không còn lựa chọn nào khác trong bối cảnh khủng hoảng khả năng chi trả nhà ở vốn đã tồn tại từ trước.
Người dân Lismore ở miền bắc New South Wales được khuyến cáo thận trọng khi trở về nhà, khi tàn dư của cơn bão nhiệt đới Alfred vẫn đang gây ảnh hưởng. Trong khi đó, cư dân ở đông nam Queensland được cảnh báo về mưa lớn và tình trạng mất điện trên diện rộng trong tuần này.
Just before midnight on Friday millions of people living in south-east Queensland were told to take shelter, to go to the strongest room and stay there. Tropical Cyclone Alfred was coming their way and for most residents it was the first time they'd faced such a threat. By the next morning Alfred would be downgraded to a tropical low, even before it reached the mainland. So what happened? How did it unfold and how should we assess the warnings, preparation and response?Today, we speak to a cyclone expert and go to Lismore in northern New South Wales where the community is breathing a sigh of relief.
