  There was an excellent book published in 2003 called 'Greycliffe: Stolen Lives" by Steve Brew. Copies would be available through selected Australian libraries.

Rescuing stock during the 1928 flooding in Goovigen, Queensland

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Between Wowan and Goovigen in Banana Shire, Central Queensland lies a distinctive landscape feature of the Fitzroy Basin. Three rivers—the Dee and Don Rivers and Callide Creek—converge, sometimes with dramatic consequences, on a three-pronged floodplain. The DeeDon-Callide floodplain is approximately 37 km long, up to five km wide, and about 16,000 ha in area. Complex patterns of water flow ensure that it is rich in wetland features: channels, waterholes, ponds and swamps. Major floods are a constant concern during the wet season at Calliungal and historically the station has experienced some huge losses of cattle. In 1928, about 2000 head of Calliungal cattle were drowned or lost: “The animals went down in hordes. On all sides along the course of the river the beasts were tossed and swirled, some being caught in the branches of trees and others going downstream to be drowned and thrown on the banks for miles down.” And “the sight of cattle suspended in trees 20 to 30 feet from the ground was sufficient evidence that the losses sustained by stock being swept away are very heavy.” 1 Mark Collins recalls that in one such flood, a dead bullock from Calliungal washed up in Rockhampton; Source: wetlandinfo.des.qld.gov.au/resources/static/pdf/resources...
