50 years ago Gough Whitlam organised the Darwin evacuation after #CycloneTracy, land rights for the First Nations, and many other policies for the Nation.
I often wonder which side he would take about the #PalestineGenocide if he was PM today.
Fifty years ago on Christmas Day, Cyclone Tracy delivered death and destruction to the 47,000 residents of Darwin. Hear the chilling radio alert from the day.

@AronieDawn2 I wasn't criticising Albanese but nobody @abcnews even mentioned PM Gough Whitlam's name in relation to Cyclone Tracy. I think that's very disrespectful of our great former prime minister. #auspol #cyclonetracy

Today marks 50 years since #CycloneTracy devastated #Darwin, forever changing our city, and leaving an indelible mark on our collective spirit.
And to the 66 lives lost — you are remembered, you are honoured, and your legacy endures in the strength of the city we call home.

50yrs ago, #ChristmasEve 1974, #CycloneTracy struck Darwin. 71 people were killed (49 on land, 22 out at sea). 70% of Darwin's buildings (incl. 80% of the houses) were destroyed. 41,000 (out of a population of 47,000) were left homeless. 30,000 people were evacuated. 😔

I remember when #CycloneTracy devastated Darwin. 🥹
It was horrific to see on TV, how people survived it. Now THAT was a Christmas miracle.
50 years tonight since we were blown away, and Darwin was totally destroyed. We remember, but fools like @AlboMP will be there with his faux care and compassion. If I was there tonight, I'd tell him to piss off. #Darwin #cyclonetracy #auspol

The Christmas present that saved a life. 🎁
This pendant was gifted to Andrea Middleton in Darwin the night before #CycloneTracy.
It deflected a glass shard from the cyclone that would otherwise have penetrated her chest.
Now on display in our Great Southern Land gallery.

Pity you didn't acknowledge Labor Gough Whitlam government's immediate and effective response to Cyclone Tracy. He was an outstanding PM - a truly great man of integrity, strength, goodness and wisdom. #auspol #cyclonetracy
🌪️ 50 years ago, on Christmas Eve 1974, #CycloneTracy devastated #Darwin, reshaping Australia’s disaster response. NSW has faced its own extremes, the #Kiama tornado (2013) & #Kurnell tornado (2015) with winds over 200 km/h.

Santa never made it to #Darwin… 50 years ago. #cyclonetracy i was very young in primary school but still remember it like yesterday. little did i know i would get married there 37 years later in a thriving rebuilt city https://t.co/5PJdoDiY2t
50 years since #CycloneTracy and I still recall what the daughter of survivor told me in the 1980s and it sends shivers down my spine

years ago I watched a movie/series about Cyclone Tracy- I found it online but not how to watch it - says its out of license, whatever that means #CycloneTracy
On Christmas Day 1974, Cyclone Tracy devastated Darwin. While only 3 cyclone moorings were available, the bravery of the Navy's HMAS Advance and Assail ensured their survival amidst the storm.
