The photo that stopped a nation.

The article from the Australian Women's Weekly recounts the devastating impact of Cyclone Tracy on Darwin in 1974. The cyclone, with winds gusting up to 280km/h, destroyed 70% of homes in Darwin, leaving 66 people dead and many more injured or missing. The aftermath saw a massive relief effort, with the government evacuating nearly 30,000 people, and the nation coming together to support the rebuilding of the city. The article highlights the resilience and unity of the community in the face of such a catastrophic event. [Extracted from the article]
