The Christmas Episode - Cyclone Tracy

Merry Christmas !!
We're dropping you a bonus episode as a little Christmas present from us to you!
And, as Effie requested it's slightly more lighthearted but sadly people do still die.

We're talking about Cyclone Tracy 
It struck Australia on Christmas Day in 1974 killing 71 people.
Cyclone Tracy has been described as the most significant tropical cyclone in Australia's history and it changed how we viewed the threat of tropical cyclones to northern Australia.

We also talk about Christmas in Australia
Christmas films and the real-life Polar Express
Our favourite things about Christmas
And Effie's visions!!!
