SYDNEY, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Residents in Australia's northeast on Tuesday braced for heavy rain and damaging winds from tropical cyclone Jasper, expected to make landfall in the next 24 hours ...

Thomas Herridge has achieved his goal of getting his young family home for Christmas, a year after waist-high water went through their house in post-cyclone Jasper floods in far north Queensland.

Far North Queensland communities hit hard by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper will receive long-term disaster funding from the state and federal government to rebuild infrastructure and fast-track recovery.

The Queensland Government has approved $2.87 million worth of recovery grants to small businesses in the 12 months since Cyclone Jasper and the resulting flood struck Far North Queensland.
