Australia’s Natural Disasters - A Book by Richard Whitaker On Christmas Eve 1974, Darwin pubs were busting with festive people joking that ‘cyclones never hit Darwin’. Cyclone Tracy was expected to be another ‘near miss’. But in the early hours of Christmas Day, the slow moving tropical cyclone tore the city apart, with sustained winds of 200 kilometers per hour. Cyclone Tracy is only one of the many extreme weather events that Australia has been subjected to. Australia’s Natural Disasters tells many stories of the devastation nature has inflicted on our wild country. From the agonies of droughts and floods, to the shock occurrences of earthquakes and bushfires, Australia is a country known as much for its ferocious natural hazards as it is for its rich environment. Freak weather has caused plane crashes and shipwrecks, and even been blamed for the disappearance of a Prime Minister! Australia’s Natural Disasters is a fascinating book of the ferocity of nature and the dramatic effects it has had on this country and its people.
