In living memory or since records were being taken, Cairns has never had a direct hit by a cyclone either.
This goes back to at least 1899:
CYCLONE MAHINA (March 1899)
More than 400 people died when this cyclone hit Bathurst Bay and it is still considered to be the worst natural disaster in Australia’s history.
The storm destroyed more than 50 ships that were part of the pearling fleet, killing 100 people. Another 100 killed were local Aborigines, some of them were swept into the sea trying to help shipwrecked men.
Don't know where the other 200 came from ???
Here's some other interesting reading from my part of the world:

We are truly lucky & thankful to be living in this beautiful part of the world where the reef meets the rainforest.
Rick, no guy on skis, but I think there were skid marks on the seats.

I don't regret my past, I just regret the time I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or no longer love what I do.
Stop moving, start dying........
