Other Territory pastoralists voice their unhappiness that the rains forecast in the wake of Cyclone Trevor did not bring them relief from prolonged dry conditions Tobermorey Station and Roadhouse co-owner John Speed said he was hoping the NT Government would offer financial assistance to station staff, some of whom he said"lost everything" during the extreme weather.
The remote station, roughly 550 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs and 550 kilometres south-west of Mount Isa, appears to have received the brunt of a downpour which was expected to flush through the parched Barkly region as Cyclone Trevor turned into a tropical low and drifted inland.
