my four Cordyline australis which were 5ft each minimum in height have suffered due to our severe winter - all leaves have fallen down towards stalk, and are withered at trunk - trunk is also extremely wet at top - can I recover these very poor looking plants???

Possibly not, you might well be one of the hordes of people heading for the garden centre for new Cordylines. Wait a while, till April, when its warmer, if not signs of growth, cut them down by half, see if they re-sprout, but it doesn't sound good if they're soggy at the top.
