Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry crossed the far north Queensland coast near Etty Bay around 7 a.m. on 20 March, 2006. It then tracked west-northwest and passed directly over the town of Innisfail (Figure 1). Within 48 hours, teams from Geoscience Australia were on the ground to begin a program of assessing building and crop damage. This continued for 3 weeks. The initial analysis of data collected is presented below.
