Nuku'alofa's wharves and harbour have no warships currently present. Local media report that HMAS Canberra is standing off the island of Nomuka in the Ha'apai Group, no mention of HMAS Adelaide. The report says the PM and the Austalian High Commissioner were taken by helicopter to Nomuka for a short visit. Pics show the eruption and tsunami caused major damage to the island.
