MISSION BEACH: POST YASI

Although 5 months has passed, Cyclone Yasi's impact is there for all to see at Mission Beach in Far North Queensland.
Many homes are yet to be repaired.
The landscape has been smashed to pieces...
To their credit, the inhabitants of this area are very positive and they and the landscape will recover.
