CYCLONE VANCE, the most powerful cyclone to hit Australia, has finally left the continent for the Southern Ocean after wrecking hundreds of homes along a 1,056-mile path of destruction.

Cyclone Vance, once a maximum "category five" storm with record wind gusts of up to 165mph has now been downgraded to a depression. The storm almost wiped out the small fishing town of Exmouth, 745 miles north of Perth.
