The western edge of tropical disturbance Zeta (named by Clement Wragge) struck the coast in the vicinity of Cape Tribulation at 4.30pm 6 April. 3 feet of water came into in the Goondi Mill and the wharf, which was 40 feet above the level of the stream was submerged by 4 feet. All the lower parts of the Geraldton were under water on the morning of the 7th. 130 people took refuge in Public Buildings and several houses were almost completely covered by water.
