Cyclone tracks in Australia: 1907-2005. In an average season, tropical cyclones are mostly experienced in northwest Australia between Exmouth and Broome in Western Australia and in northeast Queensland between Port Douglas and Maryborough.here is some correlation between cyclone frequency and the El-Nino Southern Oscillation status, with activity subdued in El-Nino events and enhanced during La-Nina events, especially in the Coral Sea. Interesting fact: The greatest number of tropical cyclones in the Australian region in any one year was 20 in 1983.
Tropical cyclones pose a serious threat to Queensland communities and industry. Australia's deadliest tropical cyclone occurred on 4 March 1899 when a cyclone hit a pearling fleet in Bathurst Bay (north of Cooktown) and caused a massive storm surge accounting for 307 known fatalities.
