Melbourne population in 1836 was 177. 1851 was 23,000. No electricity, no power tools, no motor vehicles. If so much in this time, why isn't half the city in mid-construction..? And Melbourne has the largest subterranean sewer system network in the world. Judge for yourself.
With the rain in recent times(Oct2022)a Flood like this could in the near future. Maybe not as bad like those days,but still bloody dangerous. Stephan Furst your so right and First to say 21years.🛶⛵🛶
just like the great fires, they happened at different times at different cities. depending on where the ground level was raised well enough to create a basement with the original ground floor.
In 1891 floods of this magnitude were once in 100 year events. They're now occurring every year - sometimes several times a year. That's what climate change is.
