WHEN cyclone Yasi ripped through Cardwell, the monster storm tore up homes, roads and businesses, leaving the town in tatters.

But the drinkers at the town’s only pub, The Marine Hotel, prefer to focus on the positives, including an unequalled view of the ocean looking across to iconic Hinchinbrook Island – thanks to Yasi, which tore up trees along the foreshore.
