Tracy: Force of Nature

Small but intense, Cyclone Tracy was like no other system before, or after it, in Australia. Its unexpected path to the city saw winds reach 217 kilometres an hour, before all weather instruments were destroyed by the ferocity.

For those who lived through the terror that was Christmas Eve 50 years ago, their lives would never be the same. In this one-hour ABC special, survivors tell of the tragedy and triumph in the days, months and years that followed.

The documentary premieres on ABC Australia on Christmas Day at 3am Hong Kong time (6am AEDT), with repeats throughout the day.

On Boxing Day, the channel will take Nine’s coverage of the 79th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race from 9.30am Hong Kong time (12.30pm AEDT).
