Brisbane Floods Photos

Some of my pics from around South Bank and the city centre during the flood. Of course it would make more sense if you knew what it normally looked like....


The empty super market by the hostel on Wednesday.


The William Jolly Bridge is totally empty...


Flooding by the museum at the intersection of Melbourne and Grey streets.

More sandbagging. The height of the 1974 flood is shown on the left. This was originally expected to be worse but peaked 1m lower than this point.
