AustLit is currently bracing for Cyclone Alfred. We’re based on the Brisbane campus of The University of Queensland, which is currently closed for cyclone preparation. We hope there will be minimal disruption, and send our best wishes to everyone in Alfred’s path.

@GillianPolack Absolutely! We've been through both the 2011 and the 2022 Brisbane floods, so we're keeping a close eye on those warnings, too.

@GillianPolack That's what we need: miniature soaps! We just have a vague sense of foreboding, instead.
