'Three Palms' remembers Cyclone George, and the 3 people who died when this cat 5 cyclone hit Port Hedland in 2007, causing significant damage to the town and surrounds. 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of George.
The sculpture "Three Palms" is a commemorative art work dedicated to the people of Port Hedland after the devastating effects of Cyclone George in 2007. Cyclone George was the third tropical cyclone to affect the Australian region and the first to affect Western Australia in 2007. The cyclone formed on 2 March in the Northern Territory's Top End late in February, and intensified when it entered the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, before crossing the northern coast of the Kimberley. It moved over the Indian Ocean, intensifying to a Category 4 cyclone, and eventually crossed the Pilbara coast just east of Port Hedland at peak intensity. After further analysis from the Bureau of Meteorology Cyclone George was reclassified to Category 5. It caused significant damage to the town of Port Hedland and surrounds and claimed 3 lives.
