Cyclone Althea was a Category 4 cyclone which hit the Australian coast some 50 kilometres (km) north of Magnetic Island and Townsville in North Queensland on December 24, 1971.[2] Althea produced peak gust wind speeds between 123 and 145 miles per hour (197 and 233 km/h). Three people died during the storm and property damage was estimated at A$115 million (1990 value). On Magnetic Island, 90 percent of the houses were damaged or destroyed.[3] In Townsville, houses were lifted from their foundations and, most trees were stripped of their foliage. Althea was very notable at the time because it had struck a major city.
Although there was a dangerous storm surge associated with Cyclone Althea (between 2.8 and 3.6 metres) little flooding occurred because the cyclone made landfall during the low tide. However, the combination of the storm surge and wave action demolished The Strand seawall, and houses in low-lying areas were inundated with up to 0.6 metres of water.

Cyclone Wanda existed from 24 January to 27 January 1974 and led to extensive flooding over southeast Queensland. Although this tropical cyclone was relatively weak, it dropped enormous quantities of rain on south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales over the Australia Day (26–27 January) weekend, resulting in some of the worst flooding seen in the region in a century. The Queensland state capital, Brisbane, fared particularly badly, with 14 lives lost and parts of the city submerged under 2 metres of the Brisbane River. (See 1974 Brisbane flood.) In northern New South Wales, a further two fatalities were reported. All in all, Wanda left 16 dead, over 300 injured, destroyed 56 homes and submerged a further 1,600, and 8,000 people homeless.[6]

Cyclone Zoe was named and detected on 9 March 1974, when it was located northeast of Brisbane. In the following days, it moved steadily southward[7] and interacted with an already-exiting trough in the easterlies to produce very heavy rainfall along the Australian coast from Brisbane down south, almost to Sydney. In the four days between 10–13 March, Brisbane received 419.4 millimetres (16.51 in)[8] and some places in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales received as much as 700 millimetres (28 in).[9] With catchments already saturated by heavy January rains, record flooding occurred on the Richmond River,[10] which reached a height of 12.17 metres (39.9 ft).
