Bundaberg Flood: Major River Peak Looms

0:00Welcome to Adelaide News Today, two minutes of news that matter to Adelaide. Flood waters are rising fast in Bunderbur, Queensland, putting hundreds of homes and businesses at risk. The Burnett River is set to peak at 7.6 meters early Wednesday, isolating thousands of residents for days in this city of more than 70,000 people. This level is just shy of the major flood from 14 years ago when water levels hit 7.92 meters and forced mass evacuations. That's the region. Local leaders are urging calm, but stressing safety amid the stress of past disasters. The mayor highlighted how previous floods have taken a toll on mental health, reminding everyone that lives matter more than belongings. Extra help is pouring in, with water rescue teams and over 30 police officers deployed to the area for quick response. Officials are monitoring closely, ready for any worsening conditions, as the community braces for potential isolation. This episode is proudly sponsored by our partner.
