unknown because of the age of the disaster
Little information was recorded about Cyclone Mahina, which hit north Queensland on 4 March 1899. As with all cyclones, it would have been generated from a low pressure system out at sea some days earlier.
Cyclone Mahina, which hit north Queensland on 4 March 1899, was a category 5 cyclone, and resulted in the greatest death toll of any natural disaster in Australia. It hit a pearling fleet of around 100 vessels anchored at Bathurst Bay, killing 307 people were killed in this one act alone. Only 4 sailors survived. Just before the eye of the cyclone passed overland to the north a tidal wave 13 - 15 metres high, caused by the storm surge, swept inland for about 5 kilometres, destroying anything that was left of the Bathurst Bay pearling fleet, along with the settlement. The death toll of between 400 and 410 included at least 100 indigenous Australians, some of whom died when they were caught by the back surge and swept into the sea while trying to help shipwrecked men.
The most common natural disaster that affects the outback is drought, followed by Floods, followed by dust storms. Bushfires are rarely a problem in the outback, or are easily controlled, because vegetation is sparser there than in the bush.
