# Cyclones, cyclones everywhere
Tuesday, 11 January 2022
Cyclone Tiffany has cut a destructive path across North Queensland’s Cape Yorke, causing flooding less than a week after the state was hit by Cyclone Seth.
In Fiji, it’s an all too familiar story as most of the population deals with flooding caused by Cyclone Coady as it passes through on its way towards New Zealand.
And in New South Wales, rich agricultural land owned by Chinese mining giant Shenhua has been bought back by local farmers in the Liverpool Plains.
