Storm Casualties
Between AEST 23:57, 2 February 2011, and 00:27, 3 February 2011, the eye of Cyclone Yasi passed directly over Bedarra Island as a Category 5 tropical cyclone. A number of the luxury resorts were devastated with buildings left in splinters, facilities in ruins and gardens stripped bare.
After a major clean up and reinvestment, most of the popular luxury resorts on the eastern side of the horseshoe-shaped island have fully recovered.

The tyrannous wind, its strength fordone,
Is fallen back in the west”
