it appears it's a bit like 'Gil McLachlan' full of wind, hanging around for a long time without doing too much at all.

I lived in Cairns from 1995 to 1997 and I remember lifetime locals telling me at that point that Cairns hadn't had a direct hit from a cyclone since 1951.
The next direct hit was 1999 when a cyclone hit Cairns as a category 1.
There's something about the mountains circling it and the close proximity to the reef either deflecting them or sucking the energy out of them.
I remember when Yasi appeared in 2011 and the tv crews hanging around Cairns like a pack of ghouls. You could see and hear the disappointment when it didn't strike Cairns.

Cairns under water now,dodged the cyclone but not the rain.
Gotta love that FNQ style.
House under water?
Might jump in the tinnie and go see if the pubs open,it's up on a hill.
