Australia has been relatively free of major damaging tsunamis. 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.

Perhaps the second-largest tsunami to hit Australia's shores was one which hit in June 1994. Again, the northwest coast was hit, including Broome, King Bay, Onslow and Carnarvon. In some coastal areas, fish and other ocean creatures were carried inland for 300 metres. Whilst no people died in Australia, this same tsunami killed 200 people just four hours earlier in Java.
