I have no idea? Do you think I've never been there before? Don't you think I know a bit about the area? What voice of experience do you have? Or you loving expressing your ignorance??

wow you really have no idea do you??

My mother had a photo of the Nogoa flowing over the upstream rail of the railway bridge and under the other rail. About 1953.
I recall it being almost as high as in your clip in about 1959. We lived in Theresa Street, not far from Hospital Road, high and dry.
Look for "Beyer Garrats Round the World" on YouTube for Rocky & Emerald in early 50's

gr8 video, to think i was taught to water ski on this dam many moons ago, i now live in the UK, hope the water has subsided now, take care all
Only flooding like this can remove the chemical spray from the cotton crops. Maybe the waterways will be inhabited by fish, yet again.Cotton ruined your area. Oh wait, now they grow our food crops in the chemically overloaded soils now. For the wellbeing of my child, I'd never live even NEAR Emerald ever again!!

Hehehe. Same up here in Mt Morgan. The dam has not gone over yet (about a metre to go), but has taken the road that run alongside it underwater.
