Well obviously you would avoid flying in the area as a low time VFR Pilot if there was a friggen cyclone in the area wouldn't you! (I enjoy flying though cyclone cloud formations particularly when they become tropical depressions, always smooth thick stratus full of moisture, with beautiful flying conditions)
It's not a reason to not go just in case! It would be like saying you should never fly an aeroplane because it could have an engine failure.
GWAS - Go for it!
If Clyde Fenton could fly a Moth from Darwin to China in the 1930s during the wet season with no navaids, open cockpit, no documentation, and a gerry rigged fuel system, I'm sure you could fly a modern (to some extent
) aeroplane around Australia via the topend with GPS and other mod cons.
