Description
A tropical cyclone lingers off Australia's eastern coast, bringing drenching rains and record-breaking waves to a heavily populated region rarely hit by typhoons. Tropical Cyclone Alfred was 250 kilometres (155 miles) east of busy Brisbane city on Thursday afternoon.
Daring surfers paddled out to catch the supercharged waves, ignoring the threat of US$10,000 fines, while others ventured out to see the spectacle. "We're pretty lackadaisical up here on the Goldy," local resident Paul Farrow told AFP. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ++ COMPLETES WITH VIDI_36ZF4ZW ++
