Gympie Flood History ~Part One~ 1870 - 1968

Take a look at some photos from the earliest recorded flooding of the mighty Mary River in Gympie and surrounds. The biggest recorded flood to date was the Great Flood of 1893, which peaked at 25.45 metres. Bill Mulholland wrote (1979) of the 1893 flood "a legend that will persist into the future until, perchance, some day there occurs a still greater flood".
