Answer 5

Australia's top ten natural disasters, by death toll, are: * CYCLONE MAHINA, 1899, which hit Cape York killing over 400 people. * VICTORIA BUSHFIRES, 2009, now known as the Black Saturday bushfires. To date, 209 people are known to have died. * GUNDAGAI FLOODS, 1852, which killed 89 when the Murrumbidgee River burst its banks and swept away the original town of Gundagai. * ASH WEDNESDAY BUSHFIRES, 1983, which killed 75 people across Victoria and South Australia. * BLACK FRIDAY BUSHFIRES, 1939, when 71 people were killed during bushfires in Victoria. * CYCLONE TRACY, 1974, which hit Darwin on Christmas Day of that year, destroying the city and killing a known figure of 64. It is believed many more were killed, as local indigenous communities were not counted. * TASMANIAN BUSHFIRES, 1967, during which 62 people were killed in a matter of just five hours. * HUNTER VALLEY FLOODS, 1955, which caused widespread flood damage beyond just the Hunter Valley in NSW. 25 were killed. * BRISBANE FLOODS, 1974, in which 16 people are known to have died. * NEWCASTLE EARTHQUAKE, 1989, which killed 13.
