Interviews with Rob Wesley-Smith
Rob Wesley-Smith first came to the Northern Territory from South Australia in 1966 to work with the agricultural branch in Darwin. He is an agronomist and political activist who currently lives on a rural block of land near Darwin. At the time of Cyclone Tracy he was living in his flat at the corner of Wood and Foeslche Street, just a block from the central business district. He watched the cyclone throughout the night and when dawn broke he got his camera and, immediately after emerging from his flat, he walked down Smith Street before any debris had been removed and took what were probably the first photographs of the CBD after the cyclone. In his interview he describes the night of the cyclone and the damage to his immediate area and his movements on the following morning and days. He also discusses the evacuation, the permit system and the emergence of the civil liberties organisation and resident action groups in the immediate aftermath of the cyclone.
