Flood in Fox Street, Walgett - Walgett, NSW, no date

from State Library of New South Wales

  Likely the April 1890 flood. The other major Walgett floods of 1864 and 1910 seem to early or late for this image. These lines from a contemporary newspaper could well describe the scene depicted: "During the floods two Government boats, assisted by about a dozen private ones, did good service both day and night, in rescuing families and their goods to the Courthouse, School of Arts, Wright Heaton's stores, Collins' stores, Mr. Janison's residence, Bank of New South Wales, and Messrs. Easom's, Pedley's, Wright's, and Baker's residences." - The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser, 1 May 1890, p. 6.
