Canberra evacuee recalls Darwin cyclone wreckage
Mrs Penelope Steeples told reporters in Canberra that she and her husband and seven year old children fled Darwin as a cyclone battered Northern Territory homes. She described wind and rain ripping houses apart, poles toppling, and furniture destroyed. The family sheltered in a toilet as roofs collapsed and they fled by a special flight with only minutes to prepare. They expect to rebuild in Darwin while unsure when they will return.
