Brisbane Floods - One year on

One year on from the floods that stopped Australia's 3rd largest city and impacted so many people in South East Queensland, I've revisited my flood coverage and here's a few more images of the aftermath of the floods of 2011.

Brisbane Floods - The Clean Up

With the commencement of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry, the inquiry has received more than 440 GB of information, which amounts to about six million printed pages. The year long inquiry will investigate the disaster, state's preparedness and response to widespread flooding, examining the dam operations and early flood warnings, particularly in the Lockyer Valley where more than 20 people died.

Here are some new images of the aftermath and the massive clean up operation, that went on for months and in some areas, is still going on.
