This time last year I decided to take note of end of the year predictions (Guesses!) from a handful of our various Psychics on the forthcoming Year of 2011. I will leave you to decide if this is some type of special talent, or just some wild random guesses which everyone can do. Hate to influence your thoughts but maybe give it a try, predict something yourself and we will check out your efforts in a year. My own contributions is as follows starting with earthquakes in New Zealand around April/May 2012, Tony Abbott replaced as leader of the coalition, Hawthorn to win the AFL Premiership, Manchester City to win the EPL in soccer and Matthew Newton to find a new love and get engaged. Please feel free to leave any thoughts and comments.

A major cyclone will travel along the eastern seaboard and land much further south than is usual. La Nina will bring a much cooler winter than normal, along with unusual cyclonic activity. Western Australia ay also experience earth tremor damage in mid-2011 but this will not affect highly populated areas. Heather Alexander
