  1. 1906/07 to 2006/07 Tropical cyclones crossing within 400 km of  12.42°S latitude, 130.89°E longitude

  2. Wind Storm & Cyclones– • Cyclone activity has been predicted by the CSIRO to decrease overall by up to 44% in some areas of Australia. • However, the number of extreme cyclone events (Category 3-5) is expected to increase. That is, there will be a higher percentage of more destructive and longer living cyclone events. • Furthermore, the average decay location of cyclones is predicted to move southwards by up to 3 degrees of latitude

  3. Potential insured losses from Tropical Cyclone “Dinah” Jan – Feb 1967 • If Tropical Cyclone Dinah (1967, Cat 3) took place today, but only 100-150km further south, it would affect Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast. • Munich Re estimated that potential insured losses would be US$8-14 billion (2006) • (Source: Munich Re, Topics GeoNatural Catastrophes 2006)

  4. The Gold Coast
