    Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane

    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Historic Cardwell

    Historic Cardwell

    Cassowary Coast Libraries Information Sheet Historic Cardwell The Scott Monument Outside the Cardwell Anglican Church stands an impressive stone cross, a memorial to Walter Jervoise Scott. Scott and his brothers came to Australia from England, establishing the Valley of Lagoons station inland of Cardwell in the 1860s. Walter died at the station in 1890 and his family sent this headstone of granite from Scotland to be placed on his grave. However, it was too heavy for a bullock team to haul it up the rough, narrow Dalrymple Gap track, so it remained in Cardwell, and a smaller stone was sent from Scotland which was actually placed on his grave. The Kennedy Cairn The first European overland exploration of the present Cardwell hinterland occurred in 1848, when Edmund Kennedy and his expedition passed through the region. Kennedy landed at Tam O’Shanter Point on Rockingham Bay but had to travel southwards seeking a way through the coastal swamps. After traversing the flood plains of the Hull, Tully and Murray Rivers, he finally was able to turn north near Meunga Creek near the present Cardwell township. Camp VI, which is now a picnic area, indicates this spot. In 1948, a celebration marked the centenary of this epic and tragic journey, which ended in the death of Kennedy and most of his party but pointed the way for early pioneers. A cairn, near the old Post Office, Cardwell and a plaque on the Meunga Creek bridge were unveiled by S. Theodore, M.L.A. Dalrymple Gap Track Bridge To the south of Cardwell, the Dalrymple Gap Track winds up the range: the main road to the inland between 1864 and 1872, connecting the coast to the Valley of Lagoons and grazing properties on the Herbert River.
