It didn't. Cyclone Hamish veered away from the coast before actually doing any damage or hitting Brisbane.

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.

Cyclone Wanda was responsible for the 1974 floods in Brisbane and Ipswich. Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin at the end of the year, brought very little rain.

Cyclone Mahina killed over 400 people. When the cyclone hit on 4 March 1899, it hit a pearling fleet of around 100 vessels anchored at Bathurst Bay, pushing the boats onto the shore or into the sharp rocky reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. This killed 307 people; only 4 sailors survived. The final death toll of between 400 and 410 included at least 100 indigenous Australians, some of whom died when they were caught by the back surge and swept into the sea while trying to help shipwrecked men.
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).
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.
