A bureau report into the disasters released today confirms many century-old records fell when a series of La Niña -driven, deep low-pressure systems repeatedly dumped intense rain on a sodden landscape.
"These systems just parked over south-east Queensland. And when these systems do that, that's when you get really significant flooding," said Karl Braganza, the bureau's national manager of climate servicesFind more local newsThe Mary River at Gympie, in Queensland, which has flood records dating to 1870, exceeded all previous recorded flood peaks except the major flood in February 1893. The lower Logan River, south of Brisbane, experienced its worst flooding since 1974.
Devastating flooding occurred at Lismore and other nearby towns, including Coraki and Woodburn and Murwillumbah and Tumbulgum . "The climate models themselves have long projected an intensification of the hydrological cycle, which is essentially droughts becoming potentially longer and hotter and more frequent. But also, when the conditions are right and the meteorology is right, for the rainfall to be heavier than it was in the past, " said Mr Braganza.
Exactly as predicted...
