Winter is not the ideal time for the Tarkine coast. Wind, rain and flooded rivers are the norm.

You'd think that the airlines would get a bit more flexible given the current situation, and run direct flights between "safe" cities. It might be a bit awkward at first but people would get used to the system quickly enough.

I didn’t think it’d be too hard to get the Lake (no cryptic clue there) and I’m on an Abel.
