$2.00

This resource is part of our “Natural Disasters in Australia” series. One of the worst disasters of the early colonial period in Australia, and New South Wales, in particular, were the floods of the Murrumbidgee River of 1852. The township of Gundagai was almost destroyed and more than a third of the towns population perished in the floods. Some Aboriginal men became heroes, rescuing about one-fifth of the town’s population, in their bark canoes.
