“How do people react to disaster?
On Wednesday the 2nd of February, 2011, Cyclone Yasi carved a path of devastation through North Australia’s beautiful coastline.
This book is an inspiring compilation of personal stories, journal entries, poems, quotes, photos, and drawings from contributors of all ages as they reflect on the impact Yasi had on their lives – laughter as well as pain – fear as well as courage.
We hear from the people who stayed to see it through; from those who heeded the dire warnings and attempted to escape; from friends and family who sat in apprehension through the night texting their loved ones with updates, and from the many wonderful people working in the support services.
Their stories touch the human spirit. They show how strong we can be when asked to deal with pain and loss, disaster and devastation. And how we can overcome our personal fears and discover our humanity in banding together against adversity.”

Feast of the Three Saints - Silkwood
The Feast of the Three Saints is held every year in Silkwood, Australia. The Feast brings people together, in celebration, from all over North Queensland and beyond, occurring on the first Sunday in May.In the Year 2000 we celebrated, in Italian and English, our 50th Anniversary and, to mark the occasion, a 50th Anniversary Book was produced, which can be purchased online. Through the years a number of photographs have been collected and these are displayed in the Photo Gallery.
On Sunday, 6th May, 2012 the Saints will celebrate 62 years in Australia. Plans are well underway for the Three Saints Committee Dinner, which is traditionally held on the Friday evening of the Anniversary weekend. Sunday will see Mass celebrated with the Bishop, the Solemn Procession through Silkwood and Mass with the Scalabrinian Father, followed by the Blessing and Veneration of the relics of the Three Saints. Details of the attending Celebrants are yet to be confirmed but the event promises to be a major highlight for the district.
Other festivities include a barbecue, with traditional Italian food, stalls and entertainment and, of course, 7.00 p.m. will herald the lighting of the night skies with a brilliant fireworks display. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The History of the Three Saints, St Alfio, St Filadelfo and St Cerino, in Silkwood began in 1950, when they were brought from Italy to Silkwood by Rosario Tornabene. For the complete history visit our History of the Saints section.
