  • 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.

GAIR: If I do not receive that courtesy and attention to which I am entitled when I am answering a question, I will cease to answer it. In such circumstances I do not think I am required to do so. Mr. SPEAKER: That is the hon. gentle­ man's privilege. Mr. GAIR: ''The expansion successfully fostered by the Government will produce a crop of approximately 1,200,000 tons of sugar in a normal year. The Sugar Board is the Crown instrumentality charged with the responsibility of financing, transporting and selling this ~ugar within Australia and overst>as. Prior to 1943, this board had a full-time chairman. Since then the sugar crop has more than trebled in volume and value. New lands have been brought under the plough and mills have an extensi\·e capital programme of increased milling capacity. The Sugar Board is one of the most important Crown instrumentalities and is carrying additional responsibility and work. The Government have already announced their reasons for separating the functions of the two boards. The chair· man will continue to earn and receive his present salary, which will not be paid from Consolidated Revenue, but will be provided out of funds contributed by the sugar industry.''
