Cover subtitle: Great natural disasters in Australia's history.
Disasters. Australia, to date (ANB/PRECIS SIN 0600954)
First published as: Elements of danger. Sydney : Collins, 1976.
For children.
Australia's past has had its share of great natural disasters. Our continent is constantly seared by bushfires, parched by drought, and torn by cyclones. Included in this collection are the stories of the great fire of 1851 that in one day burnt out the whole state of Victoria, and the cyclone that struck Darwin in the early hours of Christmas morning in 1974. There are also individual disasters, stories of people who suffered alone against the elements
