No. While Sydney Australia does get the odd bit of freakish weather once in a while, overall the climate there is very calm. There is very litle to worry about with weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

Hurricanes do not occur in the Southern Hemisphere at all. Cyclones are common in the tropical and sub-tropical waters of Australia, and the term "cyclone" is the generic term covering hurricanes, which are restricted to American waters, and typhoons, which occur in the China Sea and Asian waters.

Technically no,. Brisbane does get tropical cyclones, which is the generic term of a storm such as a hurricane. However, such storms are only called hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific north of the equator.

No. Sydney lies too far south for the warm water currents which bring cyclones from the north.
