Category two Cyclone Oma could be expected to make landfall along the southern Queensland coast late this week.

The system reportedly delivered record levels of rain to northern queensland a fortnight ago, with Dean Narramore from the Bureau of Meteorology commenting that it has stalled near Vanuatu before redeveloping into a tropical low and further strengthening to a tropical cyclone.

Most models have predicted that the cyclone is likely to track south-east to New Zealand, but there are speculations that the system could move further west towards the Queensland coast.
