Early on Monday 20 March 2005, the category five, Tropical Cyclone Larry crossed the North Queensland Coast, lashing small communities with 290km an hour winds and leaving behind a trail of destruction.
In the true spirit of the organisation Australian Red Cross responded.
- Australian Red Cross established three evacuation centres the day before the cyclone struck at Tully, Innisfail and Silkwood, and continued to provide shelter, food and comfort to those who lost homes.
- Australian Red Cross managed three Distribution centres distributing food, water and clothing in Innisfail, and Babinda.
