Looks like its close to landfall, as Crazy has said 75kts appears to be a good bit too low. Either way strongest winds will probably be in the Sw qaudrant where the convection is really rather impressive still.
Looks to me like a decent 2 on the SS scale.

Re: SPO: TROPICAL CYCLONE ULUI (13F/20P)
Based on the obs from Hamilton Island it was a either a high end cat 3 or a low end cat 4 at landfall. The sustained wind of 93kts would be a cat 4 but the highest gust there was only 109kts which is a little lower than you would expect for a 93kt sustained wind.

I was wondering if this was the case but the BoM site says it is a ten minute average. The extra readings on there were just due to high gusts etc.
