Floods, droughts, cyclones, bushfires - likelihood and impact of each depends on
where you are on the continent. LJ

John, November/December in Queensland is storm time. On average there is a tropical
deluge accompanied by spectacular lightning once per week. I got stranded in Brisbane
due to a storm halting the railway. I saw hail stones the size of golf balls while it
was 30 degrees outside. A guy in my office had his car written off by the hail. I
also saw a palm tree fly past my second floor office window. Done see that in
Chippenham.

I also saw a TV program about a nasty earthquake in Newcastle about 20? years ago. If
i remember right a few people died in that - including some in a train that got
crushed by a falling bridge. Is that the worst earthquake in Australian history ?...
it's certainly worse than any I've heard of in the UK.

The train under the bridge scenario was the Granville rail disaster in the mid 70's.
A train derailed, hit the bridge and many people died.

Hurricanes and Tornados only happen is the far northern tropical parts of OZ where only a smalll part of the population lives. The most serious natural disater in OZ is bushfires and droughts not the ones you mentioned.
