Cyclone Tracey was a cataclysmic event that destroyed 80 percent of Darwin and killed 66 people. The disaster changed the city irrevocably and, nearly 50 years on, its reverberations continue to be felt.
In Tracy - 50 Years, 50 Stories, historians Derek Pugh OAM and Richard Creswick meticulously gather together 50 stories from those who were in Darwin when the cyclone hit. Featuring previously unheard testimonies, this compelling new oral history offers insights into the experiences of ordinary people under harrowing circumstances.
Derek and Richard are joined Curator of Territory History at MAGNT, Jared Archibald, for a wide-ranging discussion about remembering Cyclone Tracy and its lingering impacts. This panel is facilitated by Kylie Stevenson.
