Rockhampton is currently experiencing the biggest flood since 1991. The Fitzroy river peaked at 9.20 metres. That’s only 0.2 metres under the 1991 flood. The catchment area for the Fitzroy is very large and with all the flood waters from western central Queensland (places like Emerald) the Fitzroy level is expected to remain high for some time.
These aerial photographs were taken on 1/1/2010 when the river was at only 8.5 metres.
The others are a few photographs from around the city
