In late March enormous rainfall saw devastating floods in outback Queensland. In some places more than a year’s worth of rain fell in just one-week, breaking flood records across the region. During heavy rainfall across this landscape, a network of creeks and rivers flood vast amounts of country, and in really big floods like has occurred this year, the landscape becomes an inland ocean of very powerful and fast-moving water.
Towns and farms across south-western QLD have been devastated by these floods and this episode we hear from several people affected.
