Whenever our boss asks why a post doesn’t go viral we just say that mercury is in retrograde. Mercury has been in retrograde for 423 days now.

After months of planning this beautiful signal tower, wrecked in #CycloneTracy , goes on display at MAGNT in #DarwinNT

PragmaticLeftie 💚 Yes to the Voice 🖤💛❤️ Anthony Albanese I agree. This year's #bushfires ARE bigger than #CycloneTracy .

On Christmas Eve 1974, Darwin Australia has come face-to-face with #CycloneTracy , a 125mph Category 3 storm that caused catastrophic destruction in the small town. It is the 2nd smallest TC worldwide, only behind Marco in 2008. Over 71 casualties, and $645.35 million in damage.

We'll have an interview about this mangled wrought iron signal tower on air at 7.15pm tonight. #darwin #cyclonetracy

The PM clearly shocked.
