This cyclone 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 a century. The Queensland state capital, Brisbane, fared particularly badly, with fourteen 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. The cyclone's final toll: 16 dead, over 300 injured; 56 homes destroyed, a further 1,600 submerged; 8000 people left homeless.[10]

DurationFebruary 4 – February 8
Peak intensity205 km/h (125 mph) (10-min);

During 4 February Severe Tropical Cyclone Pam moved south-westwards into the Australian region as a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone, with peak 10-minute sustained wind speeds estimated at 205 km/h (125 mph).[11] Over the next couple of days, Pam passed about 500 km (310 mi) to the east of Brisbane, as it gradually weakened and recurved south-eastwards.[11][12] The system was last noted during 7 February as it moved back into the South Pacific basin.[11]

Tropical Cyclone Yvonne

Peak intensity140 km/h (85 mph) (10-min);
968 hPa (mbar)

Cyclone Zoe was named and detected on 9 March 1974 when it was northeast of Brisbane. In the following days it moved steadily southward[13] and interacted with an already-exiting trough in the easterlies to produce sustained and very heavy rainfall all along the coast from Brisbane south almost to Sydney. In the four days between 10 and 13 March, Brisbane received 419.4 millimetres (16.51 in)[14] and some places in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales received as much as 700 millimetres (28 in).[15] With catchments already saturated by heavy January rains, record flooding occurred on the Richmond River,[16] which reached a height of 12.17 metres (39.9 ft).
