Doubt that you could predict a cyclone track with that sort of accuracy. Not to say that it hasn't happened before. Check map of previous cyclones at the bottom of this link:

it shouldnt even be a warning, we should be on Cyclone watch...the media are just scaring people. i have lived in Darwin long enough to know whats what and i feel it is just being hyped up. I would suggest to people to just be prepared but no need to go to extreme levels and be safe:0)

I'm not worried

What excites me more is there are Northerlies forecast.
That means natural foot stance

People said similar about Cyclone Alby in 78 - that it wasnt going to amount to much - but there were 5 deaths and a lot damage.

SO do exercise care - however the lead up depending on how fast it is moving should provide some good waves and wind!

Cant remember if it was cyclone Rhonda or Ned that gave people in Bunbury some great surf in the harbour... that was a very different day!

its to cold down here for cyclones, if anything it will be a very big storm with high winds, maybe even as strong as a cyclone but it won't be a cyclone as such

Not too cold... reg.bom.gov.au/cyclone/tropical-cyclone-knowledge-centre/history/past-tropical-cyclones/

14 tropical cyclones to hit perth in the past 100 years not including those that crossed as tropical depressions... Denmark though - well you might get wet!!
