- ... that Bill Hatfield, 81, the oldest person to have circumnavigated the Earth, had previously narrowly survived a shipwreck with his young family after encountering a cyclone? Source: 1980–81_Australian_region_cyclone_season#Tropical_Cyclone_Cliff
News article "It was there, 150 miles off the Coast that a life event like no other struck Bill and his young family. Tropical Cyclone Cliff. This cyclone is one etched into Bill’s mind as one of the most terrifying experiences. ... ... ... As he flipped over the raft, Barb popped up clutching both girls. All four survived the cyclone and the two and a half days that followed drifting at sea."
