Yes, Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone.
The damage bill following Cyclone Tracy was $800 million (Australian dollars). That was in 1974 figures, so would translate to much higher figures now.

Cyclone Tracy itself will never recur. Cyclones cannot regenerate decades after they have dissipated. There is, however, a very high chance that a cyclone of Tracy's magnitude could form in the Arafura Sea and hit Darwin once more. There is far less chance that it would cause the damage that Tracy did, as Darwin was rebuilt to a stronger standard, with its buildings more cyclone-proof.
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.
Cyclone Tracy formed 21 December 1974. It hit Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia December 24-25, 1974. And dissipated December 26th. Cyclone Tracy killed 71 people. Tracy destroyed over 70% of Darwin's infrastructure. And left almost 90% of the population homeless. It caused $837 million in damage.
