Everyone talks about Darwin as before Tracy and after Tracy. There's a lot of us that can't forget that Christmas.
So Christmas of 1974, I was seven and my parents were having a party. They used to throw the best parties. They were real about town kind of people.

This hit close to home. Cyclone Tracy changed everything. The way you describe that night and its aftermath is so relatable. It's like you've put words to feelings I couldn't express. Thanks for sharing your story. 🌀🏡
I just wanma say what a beautiful idea the mother had put a mattress under the table because her girl was tired but didn't wanna go to bed. What a creative and understanding mum.
It's also a good idea to fill the tub with water to make it heavier. I was just thinking of the song my Nana used to play me as a kid. Santa never made it to Darwin.
You are a fantastic artist
