Brisbane doesn't get hit by Cyclones that often but they can strike the area anytime in the warmer months. They normally form in the Coral Sea (around 10'S) between November and April and sometimes track south and head towards Brisbane and can cause extreme damage and flooding, even if they do not make landfall.
Cyclones in the South China Sea are known as typhoons, so yes, cyclones can be a problem in China. China has, in fact been hit by over 30 cyclones, or typhoons, in the last forty years.

It didn't. Cyclone Hamish veered away from the coast before actually doing any damage or hitting Brisbane.
There have been no cyclones reported in Brisbane, capital of Queensland, Australia. Brisbane can be affected by cyclones which occur further north, but no cyclone has ever directly hit Brisbane.
Darwin has a tropical climate, whereas Brisbane's climate is temperate. The ocean waters around Darwin are warmer, and this generates more cyclones and tropical depressions during summer, whereas Brisbane is rarely hit by cyclones (except for the year Cyclone Wanda contributed to the 1974 Brisbane floods).
"South Asian Cyclones"Two cyclones have hit South Asia .
lots of Australian cyclones hit around the queensland coastal area.
Cyclones occur every year.
Not normally. Brisbane tends to be too far south to be hit by cyclones. The warm water currents necessary for a cyclone's development usually do not extend as far south as Brisbane, although a cyclone could, conceivably, be caught in such a current. Cyclones on Australia's eastern side readily form in the Coral Sea any time between November and April. If they do track south, they are unlikely to retain their wind strength, but they can still cause major damage with flooding rains. This was what happened in the 1974 floods in Brisbane, when Cyclone Wanda crossed the coast several hundred kilometres north of Brisbane, but then continued inalnd, dumping hundreds of millimetres of rain, despite its wind strength being depleted.
Tropical cyclone warning centres are located in these cities as they are the major centres along the coasts where most cyclones occur. Cyclones rarely hit as far south as Perth, but Perth is the capital of Western Australia, and the centre for communications - thus it is a logical location. Brisbane is in a similar situation. Darwin is right in the middle of cyclone territory.
There was no Tsunami that hit Brisbane, and therefore no Tsunami hit Sydney. However there were recent floods that devastated Brisbane and the QLD state of Australia.
Cyclones cannot hit Adelaide. Cyclones form in warm tropical waters, and then follow warm currents, but no warm currents extend from Australia's warmer waters to the south where Adelaide is located.
Cyclones hit anywhere from the northwestern coast to the northeast coast. They may form in the Indian Ocean, the Arafura Sea or the Coral Sea.
Cyclones in the South China Sea are known as typhoons, so yes, cyclones can be a problem in China. China has, in fact been hit by over 30 cyclones, or typhoons, in the last forty years.
Annually, the five countries that get hit with the most cyclones are the US, China, the Philippines, Mexico, and Japan. However, since 1970, the five countries that have been hit by the most cyclones total are China, the Philippines, Mexico, Japan, and the US.
