I see they are predicting flood levels in Bundaberg similar to 2013. I hope for those poor [censored]it doesn’t happen again. I was in bundy straight after the 2013 floods doing community recovery* the destruction on the north side of river opposite the city was unbelievable, the river instead of following the meander just floods straight across at high velocity and it’s not pretty, the water gets under the bitumen roads and just lifts huge sheets of it and houses get washed off their stumps etc.
Also around Gayndah we went to a citrus farm where the house had flooded up to roof. It was on the high bank and you looked down about 20 metres to the river, very hard to imagine that there was that much water to flood the house, but there was ( it rose very quickly in the middle of the night and they were stranded on the roof and fortunately got choppered off)

* community recovery is when you design an emergency payment system that is so complicated that you have to fly in a heap of public servants to assist every claimant that is trying to fill out the forms. Good business for the local motels hotels and restaurants though.
