How often are there tornadoes in Australia?

Many will say that Australia does not have tornadoes, but this is completely wrong. It is true that Australia is more prone to cyclones (the equivalent of hurricanes and typhoons) rather than tornadoes. However, tornado-like conditions may develop with thunderstorms, and while they're not usually officially recognised as "tornadoes" and are far less destructive than their northern hemisphere equivalents, mini-tornadoes DO occur in Australia. Tornado-like conditions have been reported during storms in each of the states, from sub-tropical Queensland down to dry South Australia. In January 2013, a series of tornadoes ripped through southeast Queensland, badly damaging property in the towns of Burnett Heads, Bargara and Bundaberg. Over a period of more than 90 years, since 1918, there have been an estimated 55 deaths from tornadoes in Australia.
