Disasters That Changed Australia

Mismanagement and poor planning made Cyclone Tracy and the Black Friday bushfires far more destructive and deadly than they should have been.

Richard Evans is a writer, a historian, and a journalist whose work has appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the Age, HQ, Overland, Quadrant, and the Republican. He is the author of The Pyjama Girl Mystery: A True Story of Murder, Obsession, and Lies and the coauthor of Constructing Australia.
