Undoubtedly. Tsunamis have, and will continue to affect Western Australia. Although recent research by the University of New South Wales in Sydney has shown that 85% of the 145 tsunamis that have hit Australia in the past 130 years have occurred along the eastern coast, Western Australia has certainly been affected. The largest tsunami to hit Australia occurred on the northwestern coast at Cape Leveque in August 1977. This tsunami was 6m in height, but no one was killed. The second-largest recorded tsunami to hit Australia's shores hit the northwest coast in June 1994, around Broome, King Bay, Onslow and Carnarvon. In some coastal areas, fish and other ocean creatures were carried inland for 300 metres.
