호주가 북부 해안에 도시를 안 짓는 진짜 이유

Australia has one of the longest coastlines on Earth, so why weren't its largest cities built on the northern coast? While millions live comfortably in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, the tropical north lies in the heart of Australia's Cyclone Belt, one of the most dangerous storm zones in the Southern Hemisphere. Building massive cities there means constantly having to endure the destructive gales, storm surges, and massive damage brought about by powerful cyclones. The deadly nature of this danger was clearly demonstrated on Christmas Eve 1974, when Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin. Approximately 70% of the city's buildings were destroyed, over 30,000 people had to be evacuated, and it was one of the largest peacetime emergency response operations in Australian history. Let's now explore why Australia's northern coast remains sparsely populated, how geography has determined the living spaces of Australians, and how a single catastrophic storm changed the nation's future.
