In the early hours of Christmas Day, 1974, Darwin was changed forever. 50 years ago Cyclone Tracy claimed the lives of 66 people, destroying most of the town. 19 year old sailor Sue Bigham was there that day - and in the weeks following. This is her story.

In the early hours of Christmas Day 1974, a tropical cyclone swept through Darwin... leaving an indelible mark on the city and its people. Severe Tropical Cyclone Tracy is regarded as one of the most significant cyclones in Australia's history. 66 people were killed and more than 600 injured. Around 8 out of 10 buildings were destroyed or seriously damaged... with a cleanup bill of more than four billion dollars in today's figures.SBS has spoken to survivors of Cyclone Tracy. They say 50 years on, the memory of Christmas 1974 is still raw.

It's been five decades since the year “Santa never made it into Darwin”, when Cyclone Tracy devastated the Northern Territory capital in the wee hours of Christmas morning 1974. In the wake of the disaster, the city – and all of Australia – pulled together to make sure its 40,000 people could safely rebuild. This included the nation's aviation industry, with Darwin Airport becoming a vital lifeline as airlines and the RAAF brought much-needed people and supplies to and from the Top End in one of the biggest airlifts in Australian history. In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake Nelson talks to Paul Boyce, who was TAA's Darwin manager when the cyclone hit in 1974, for his firsthand account of the disaster – and what came next.

It is hard to comprehend the force with which Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin early on Christmas Day 50 years ago. It was so ferocious that it killed 66 people, partly or completely destroyed 10,000 homes, and wiped out most public utilities. John Fegan was there in 1974 and lived to tell the tale. Mr. Fegan told Dean Miller on 4BC Summer Breakfast, 'I think that most of Darwin was just so excited about Christmas, they were just pushing this into the background and just weren't ready for it.' 'All of a sudden the roof caved in. Then the walls started caving in. We had to get the hell out of there.' 'The most terrifying thing that I can remember is the sound of a sheet of corrugated iron travelling at 200 kilometres an hour through the air.You know, it's just the sound of it.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fifty years ago, Cyclone Tracy's ferocious winds destroyed 85 per cent of Darwin's housing and most of the city's infrastructure. It was the third time Darwin had been razed to the ground by a cyclone, but within three days the prime minister had committed to rebuilding Australia's northern capital in the same spot. In this final of a two-part series, Darwin reporter Jane Bardon hears how Tracy prompted an overhaul of the National Construction Code. It's supposed to ensure buildings on Australia's northern coast can withstand a category four cyclone.But is the building industry adhering to the code, and as climate change threatens more severe cyclones and storms surges, is the code up to the job?Featured:Jane Bardon, ABC Darwin journalistLeo Athanasiou, Darwin builder and Athanasiou Group DirectorDawn Lawrie, former Northern Territory Assembly MLAJared Archibald, Museum and Art Gallery Northern Territory history curatorElisha Harris, Harris Kmon Solutions structural engineerCharmain Enthaler, Charles Darwin University architecture lecturer
