Australian aid is expected to arrive this morning in areas of Fiji, hardest hit by a powerful cyclone 1. Authorities are still trying to contact 17 Australians in Fiji's north. But damaged infrastructure 2 is hampering 3 communications. Cyclone Tomas has flattened 4 homes and left villagers homeless. Meanwhile, hundreds of people have been evacuated 5 from Queensland's Heron and Lady Elliot islands as Cyclone Ului moves towards the coast. It’s weakened to a Category-3 system, but the weather bureau says it could intensify 6 before it makes landfall in the next few days.
