Cyclone Tracy, in 1974, did not destroy any crops. When the cyclone made landfall, the eye of the cyclone centred over Darwin, so the worst damage was the devastation of houses and other buildings. The area around Darwin was affected to a much more limited sense, and Tracy did not bring heavy rains often associated with cyclones.
Many were left homeless or experienced loss of life!
It was from 24 to 25 of December 1974.
9,000 Darwin homes were destroyed by Cyclone Tracy, out of the city's total of 12,000 homes. This figure does not include the shanty homes inhabited by the Aborigines on the city's fringes. Many of them were simply not counted, because it is unknown how many there were.
