Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin in 1974, profoundly shaped the city's development and resilience. The widespread destruction led to a complete rebuilding of infrastructure, prompting stricter building codes and urban planning designed to withstand future cyclones. This event also fostered a strong community spirit and a focus on emergency preparedness. Today, Darwin is better equipped to handle natural disasters, and the memory of Cyclone Tracy remains a significant part of the city's identity.
Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin, Australia, on Christmas Day in 1974, caused extensive destruction, resulting in an estimated damage cost of around AUD 837 million at the time. This figure would be equivalent to several billion dollars today when adjusted for inflation. The cyclone destroyed approximately 70% of Darwin's buildings and left thousands homeless. The disaster prompted significant changes in building codes and disaster management in Australia.
The building codes for buildings today is much tougher then it was in the good old days.
Darwin was the scientist that caused controversy that still exists today.
