- This video was part of the 1956 Flood Commemoration Project, an initiative of the Murray-Darling Association, Inc. and the Murray-Darling Environmental Foundation. First released in 2006 to mark the 50th Anniversary of the floods that covered three Australian States, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. Original content provided by Apricot Film & TV.
Looking for more on the 1956 Floods? The South Australian State Library and State Library of Victoria's websites have a range of newspaper articles, photos and videos available to view free online. - บันเทิง
Wow! Great documentary. Today in/ on 16/11/2022 - The Murray & Darling Rivers are rising once again to flood levels once again. Thanks for sharing this historic moment in time.
Thanks for posting. Puts the current floods in perspective.
Once in a hundred years they said... Welcome to the 2022 flood ladies and gentlemen.
Great video, definitely worth the watch. It's awesome to see a bit of history from our little part of the world.
Brilliant video. I was at the 50th anniversary celebrations at Wentworth, with a huge rally of Ferguson tractors, and again at the 60th. 1956 is very much part of river lore.
Thank you. I see now the Murry River has a history and is not to be underestimated. Thank you!
Thanks for your post, I remember only too well this flood. The family lived at Curlwaa during this time and even though I was only a youngster, doing levy bank patrol with the Fergie (TEA20) and trailer of sand and bags is a forever memory.
Good timing for flood videos. Not for those in them though. Here is what I found looking at the cause of floods and drought. 1955 was an odd year with severe drought in the US but with their worst drought about 11 to 12 years earlier. Australia would have also been in drought in 1955 if not for the large volcanic eruption in New Zealand or this added to the breaking drought. This caused a lot of rain here. In the sunspot count in 1954 was 4.4, 1955 was 38, and 1956 was 141. 1955 would usually still be in drought but starting to break and 1956 floods. In 2011 we had floods with drought starting to break in 2010 but the previous few years in deep solar minimum were severe drought. We are having a similar situation now. The severe drought was when we had very few sunspots from 2017 to 2020 when the drought started breaking. In 2022 we have only had one day without sunspots and floods in many places. When we see idiots say our dams will never fill again with their climate scare mongering. Tell them th dams will fill when the new solar cycle fires up. I have a facebook page if interested. In my name Kevin Hoggett.
Good balanced analysis I recall the 1956 flood on the Murrumbidgee. This year, devastating floods occurred in Lismore with numerous peaks over many weeks. Now central western NSW towns are getting unprecedented floods down the Lachlan River. These flows will eventually impact the Murray for some time. We need more dams to harness this surplus water for the droughts that will return. Unfortunately in an arid landscape, evaporation takes its toll on large water storages. Annual evaporation can easily exceed 1.8 m from surface water storages and some deep percolation losses will also occur.
I'm in Echuca mate so we've seen plenty of water come and go in recent months, too much actually. Agree with you about expanding existing water storages and creating new ones, unfortunately we've missed the opportunity to harness an incredible amount of water
Buckle up Sunraysia, 2022/2023 will see close to these levels.
Certainly looking like that'll be the case unfortunately

I was 8yo, we swam in the Waikerie Oval until bacterial bloom made us sick. The distillery was surrounded by a coffer dam and I was there when the men deliberately breached it - what a rush of water. The shopping area was safe, but the road to Adelaide was cut - the punt (ferry) was closed. Dad got the daily papers by Tiger Moth, and they really didn't have a lot of news about the flood, only the Olympic Games in Melbourne and the Suez emergency. After the flood there were numerous sand mines or quarries, my friends and I dug into the steep sides and creatd a "Batcave". When our parents discovered it we got beltings (I couldn't sit for a week) and our neighbour blew it up with gelignite.
My dad Johny O Connor took his truck from Naracoorte to help with building the levy banks etc.
Great effort!
awesome
My name is Michael Hobby, you could say that I'm lucky that I live in Loxton, in the Hollywood area., because, Renmark goanna turn into a small Island by the end of February 2023, and it's going to be a sad thing for those people are going to lose their Homes.
Hi Michael, There's certainly plenty of water heading your way. Check out @theoddoneout1 - they're posting some great updates from Mildura downstream.
Nothing is done to stop floods and droughts forever and no dams and irrigation systems, no big artificial lakes and no rivers deepen, no pump and irrigation systems, nothing, criminal negligence. And droughts comes soon after
