Significant damage and power outages are possible in the densely populated region of Queensland, where tropical cyclones impacts are not uncommon but direct landfalls are.

A Lithuanian rower caught in Cyclone Alfred off the coast of Queensland, Australia was rescued after his boat capsized multiple times during his travels.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred uncovered the 130-year-old wreck of the S.S. Dicky at Dicky Beach. The iron-hulled steamer was abandoned after being beached in a 1893 cyclone and has long been a local attraction.
