January 2011 flood event in the Moreton Bay Region

DESCRIPTION

Description

Collection of photographs on the January 2011 flood event occurring in the Moreton Bay Region. These photographs were taken in the areas around Burpengary Creek, Caboolture River, Terrors Creek and North Pine River. A flood event occurred in the North Pine River. This flood event was the combination of above-average levels of rainfall over an extended period prior to 6 January 2011 and peaked on 11 January 2011, thus impacting on the North Pine Dam and the surrounding catchment areas. The North Pine Dam operators had to open five floodgates to release water in the dam.
