The luxury tropical resort of Lizard Island has been fully evacuated. Thankfully the forecast landfall area is extremely rugged and remote, and very few people live right on the coast. It's not like other areas of the South Pacific, the Torres Strait, and PNG - where you have strings of villages situated right along palm-fringed beaches, and being very much focused on seafood.

This area is quite steep, and has a large crocodile population, and few ways for people to make a living from the land or sea - there are good reasons why it has so few people. The small inland town of Coen is definitely under threat as well - it has a permanent population of around 320, and is a stopping-place for Cape York tourists during the dry season (May-October).

Currently (at 1700 AEST Thursday) Narelle is forecast to make landfall as a Cat5 - there are gusts to 315 kph (195 mph) - it's a very strong storm by Australian East Coast standards.
