Typhoons are known as tropical cyclones (or just "cyclones") in Australia.

Cyclone is the generic name for all of these tropical disturbances forming from intense low pressure systems. They are called "cyclone" in Australian waters, and rotate clockwise. Typhoons are actually just cyclones which form in Asian waters and the China Sea, whilst the same phenomena in the Americas are called hurricanes.
