Cyclone Ingrid was unusual in that it caused widespread damage in two states and a territory. Five people died when large swells capsized their boat near Kerema, in Papua New Guinea. Cyclone Justin crossed the Queensland coast just north of Cairns on 22 March and moved inland before turning southeast and passing back out to sea.
There was widespread damage to the region in and between Cairns and Townsville, caused by a combination of strong winds, heavy rain and storm surges.
In Australia, two people were killed — one in a landslide near Townsville and another electrocuted by a fallen power line at Innisfail. Cyclone Bobby travelled the length of the northwest Australian coastline, eventually making landfall near the Pilbara town of Onslow, northeast of Exmouth, just after midnight on 26 February. More than mm of rain fell around Onslow, and flooding affected many communities throughout western and southern WA. One motorist drowned while attempting to cross a flooded creek, and seven other people died when two fishing trawlers sunk off the coast near Onslow.
Though Orson was one of the most powerful cyclones ever to have struck WA, it moved so quickly that many communities were only exposed to its force for a relatively short period of time. Several buildings were harmed in the mining town of Pannawonica, while Karratha and Dampier escaped with minor damage. Four Indonesian fishermen reportedly died in rough seas around Ashmore Island, off the northwest coast of Australia. When Cyclone Winifred crossed the Queensland coast south of Innisfail on 1 February, it was the most disastrous storm that northern Queenslanders had seen in over 14 years.
A Bureau of Meteorology report on the storm stated that the general public had a relatively poor understanding of tropical cyclones at the time. One elderly man died after being blown from his roof during the storm, one person drowned, and a teenage girl died from injuries caused by flying debris. The damage to crops and infrastructure extended from Cairns to Ingham, and was compounded by the flooding of the Herbert and Tully rivers. Alby was a rare extra-tropical cyclone that caught residents of southwest WA off guard in April Very few cyclones reach so far south, but Alby served as a reminder that when they do, they are no less dangerous than their tropical counterparts.
Alby never actually made landfall, but the hot winds that it brought fanned existing controlled blazes out of control. The fires collectively burnt through roughly , hectares of forest and farmland. One witness recalled the winds were so strong that small crabs from the sea were blown in under her door.
Although there was no loss of human life, graziers suffered heavy losses to livestock. When Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin on Christmas morning , it was a catastrophe that left little unscathed. Within weeks, three-quarters of the entire population had either chosen to leave or had been evacuated.
Other impacts include power loss to more than , properties, cars found metres away from where they were left and boats piled on top of each other in some regions. Rainfall totals for the hour period to am Thursday 3 February were millimetres in the area between Cairns and Ayr, causing some flooding. A 5 metre tidal surge was observed at the storm tide gauge at Cardwell.
Other sea inundation occurred between the beaches north of Cairns and Alva Beach, and there was some inundation in parts of the city of Townsville.
