Cyclone season is from November to March I think, maybe April. This year is being touted as an El Nino year . Plenty of 45'ers make the crossing each year, very few are sunk. My question would be why Brisbane ? Plenty of nicer places on the East Australian coast to head for. Brisbane is just another biggish city of no particular charm.
