Tropical Cyclone Dora

Cyclone Dora formed in the Coral Sea east of Proserpine on February 10, 1971. It took a southeasterly track over the next four days, away from the Queensland coast, turning into a low pressure system well east of the Queensland/New South Wales border. On February 17, the system reintensified into a cyclone east of the Gold Coast, and it crossed the Queensland coast north of Brisbane at Redcliffe. Widespread structural damage was reported, with numerous power lines falling and roofs being uproofed.

Tropical Cyclone Ida

Cyclone Ida existed from 16 to 22 February 1971 in the Coral Sea.

Tropical Cyclone Fiona

Cyclone Fiona existed from 16 to 28 February 1971. It developed from remains of Cyclone Gertie, which was located in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Tropical Cyclone Lena

Cyclone Lena existed from 13 to 20 March 1971 near New Caledonia.

Tropical Depression Nora caused minor damage and gale force winds in parts of Fiji between October 29-30.
