Sure it wasn't 63?
I've got no records of TCs in 64 or 65. Before my time but I've got good sources.
There was one in 64 that came inland from the Gulf and headed out to sea around Ballina?

"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"European."
"European who?"
"European on my front lawn."
Bloody Europeans.

In 63 I was already living on the coast and in high school.
I said
'54 not
'64
But I could be a year out. But not 10.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Ah. Ok. my apologies.
We only lived on the beachfront at Bilinga for those 2 years and I remember siting huddled at the front windows watching the rain pelting down and these huge seas pounding the coast across the road.
Couldn't promise it was a cyclone - which is why I used the term "whether event"
We moved there in about April 1964, left in February 1966.

I just remember the sixties and early seventies as a really wet time compared to the rest of my life. It seems to be returning to that weather pattern at the moment.
