Over the past two weeks the Hinchinbrook region has experienced a ‘once in a generation’ flooding event. It is one that many locals are comparing to the 1967 floods where the river rose to 15.20m and the 1927 floods which where the river rose to 15.40.
Deputy Mayor Mary Brown said “this will be the flooding event that future generations talk about. When we were kids the 1967 floods were the biggest in recent memory, the 2025 floods will now become this for the next generation”.
