What would you do if you were told to leave your campsite because of a cyclone? In this episode, Annette shares a real experience from Kalbarri in Western Australia, where a fast-moving cyclone forced travellers to make quick decisions under pressure. This is not just a story. It's a practical look at cyclone safety for caravanners, including what to consider when leaving, how to assess your options, and why blindly following advice may not always be the safest choice. Annette breaks down what they got right, what went wrong, and what they would do again, covering fuel challenges, navigation issues, route decisions, and the importance of staying flexible when plans change quickly. If you're travelling Australia or planning a Big Lap, this episode will help you think through how to handle severe weather events before you're in one.
