The city in Australia most remembered for the devastating effects after a cyclone hit is Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. On Christmas Day 1974, Cyclone Tracy hit the city, demolishing two-thirds of the houses and businesses there. As a consequence, many changes were made regarding building codes in cyclone-prone areas, resulting in much higher quality buildings that can better withstand future cyclones.
