1910–11 cyclone season Cyclone 1 (1910) A cyclone hit Queensland, Australia near the city of Cairns. Cyclone 1 On 19 November 1910, a cyclone touched land in Western Australia when it had a minimum pressure of 965 hPa. It passed directly over Broome, where there was much damage. Twenty six boats of the pearling fleet were sunk and 40 people died. Cyclone 2 A long-lived weak cyclone formed in the Gulf of Carpentaria on 3 January, and made landfall with a pressure of 996 hPa. Cyclone 3 On 4 January 1911 a cyclone affected the Pilbara coast between Cossack and Onslow. The steel-hulled sailing ship was wrecked off Legendre Island with the loss of all but one of its crew. The cyclone crossed near Mardie Station where nearly every outbuilding was levelled to the ground and 6000-gallon tanks were blown away. Cyclone 4 This cyclone affected Queensland. Cyclone 5 Cyclone 5 crossed the Cape York Peninsula. Cyclone 6 This cyclone approached the Queensland coast near Townsville, Australia, but took a sharp turn away from the coast on 22 March. Cyclone 7 The cyclone came ashore between Cape Upstart and Cape Bowling Green. The ship Yongala was completely destroyed, with the loss of all 120 people on board. 1911–12 cyclone season Unnamed tropical cyclone near Port Hedland (1912) This cyclone crossed the coast just west of Balla Balla near Port Hedland and claimed well over 150 lives. It is almost certainly Australia's worst weather-related maritime disaster since Federation with the loss of the coastal steamer Koombana.Trove – Archived webpage 1917–18 cyclone season 1918 Mackay cyclone The 1918 Mackay cyclone struck the city of Mackay, Queensland, Australia on 2021 January 1918. It remains one of the most destructive cyclones to strike a populated centre in Australia. The eye of the storm passed to the north of the city just after sunrise on 21 January. During the height of the storm, barometric pressure was recorded at 932.6 hPa, one of the lowest recordings in Australia. However, the pressure was probably a lot lower, as the barometer would not go beyond 932.6 hPa, and the eye of the storm did not cross directly over Mackay where the measurement was taken. The meteorologist at the time stated that the barometer was at its maximum low reading for at least 30 minutes before the cyclone moved inland and away, allowing the pressure to finally rise. Few
