GRETEL
1984-85 season · AU198485_17U
History
Tropical Cyclone Gretel developed during the 1984–85 Australian region cyclone season, one of the most active seasons on record, which ran from 1 November 1984 to 30 April 1985. The available source material does not provide specific details about Gretel's formation location, track, peak intensity, or any coastal crossing. The 1984–85 season featured numerous significant systems, including Severe Tropical Cyclone Frank, which made landfall near Port Hedland, Severe Tropical Cyclone Lindsay, which struck near Broome, and Severe Tropical Cyclone Sandy, a Category 4 storm that caused extensive flooding and damaged two trawlers in the Gulf of Carpentaria region. Gretel was one of several cyclones active during this busy season, though specific records detailing its characteristics and impacts are not reflected in the available documentation.
