Brisbane Floods

On January 12, 2011 the Brisbane River broke its banks and flooded large parts of Brisbane and surrounds. Approximately 20,000 houses across the city were flooded.

Misho documented the lead up to, innundation and clean up within the western suburbs of Brisbane. The images here show the extent of the flood damage but also the community spirit in cleaning up the worst flood since 1974.
