Queensland Flooding 2010-2011

Even as heavy rain battered the state for most of December, Queenslanders were unprepared for the enormity of the events about to unfold.

By the end of the flood disaster, 75% of the state would be declared a natural disaster zone, thousands of homes would be damaged or destroyed and more than 20 people would lose their lives.

This video was put together to give viewers an insight into the size and scale of the floods that have wreaked havoc on two-thirds of the state since Christmas.

Our people worked tirelessly around the state, clearing debris and repairing our infrastructure in order to return our vital rail services as quickly as possible.

Services on the North Coast line between Gladstone and Mackay were finally restored on Wednesday 19 January after being cut for nearly a month.

As the clean-up continues, we can all be proud that even though Queensland has been devastated by flooding, this disaster has not dampened our compassionate and generous spirit.
