Judy crossed the SE Gulf coast between Vanrook Station and Miranda Downs early on the 29th. Extensive damage to trees and foliage occurred in the SE Gulf country. It passed very close to Delta Downs (NE of Karumba and 30 km inland from the Gulf) and an observer from the station gave the following report:- Many trees were damaged.
