    Having an alternate source of supply would undoubtedly seen as a welcome development. Subject to satisfactory economics, the idea of RUM railing phosphate straight to the undercapacity Port of Darwin seems a very attractive solution, with Darwin being perfectly located to serve South East Asian, Australian and New Zealand markets.

    I think Huang will be ok there Shasta as he is up Brisbane way.

    The impact is starting to show now with winds and waves rising, and electrics starting to drop out in some places. (so the news says anyway).

    Full effect is expected to hit around approx midnight, then continue and hopefully weaken as it moves in land though still will reduce to a category 3 cyclone rather than a 5 when it first hits.

    Hope everybody who knows somebody up there are all locked down and fingers crossed.

    To put it in terms people might appreciate, it's as fast as a V8 Supercar goes down Conrod Straight at Bathurst.

    Well, RUM put on 25% for no good reason, and now it seems like it's giving most of the gains back.

    C'est la vie.....
