In Australia, tropical cyclones are mostly experienced in north west Australia between Exmouth and Broome in Western Australia and in north east Queensland between Port Douglas and Maryborough. In the Australian region, the official tropical cyclone season runs from 1 November to 30 April with most occurring between December and April. On average, about 10 cyclones develop over Australian waters each year and around six of these cross the coast. This website explains the cause, characteristics and consequences of Cyclones.
