Easily. Australia has developed excellent emergency management programmes which, together with higher building standards, limit the damage done by cyclones. Australia experiences over a dozen cyclones every year along its coastline, and many of these are category 4. Examples of category 4 or higher cyclones which Australia has handled include Cyclone Yasi - 2010 (category 5), Cyclone Ingrid - 2005 (category 4/5), Cyclone George - 2007 (category 5). Cyclone Tracy was a category 4. The reason it devastated Darwin was that this was before current cyclone standards were put into place.
