Workers washing clothes damaged in the flood, Brisbane, 1893

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    From about midnight on Saturday until yesterday evening very little rain fell, and it was generally hoped that fine weather would set in for a time at all events ; but by sunset last evening steady rain again began, and the night as it fell over the city was perhaps the most gloomy that has yet been experienced. No gas had been available since an early hour on Saturday night, and though some lamps in Queen and George streets were lit by Messrs. Barton, White, and Co. from electricity generated at the Government Printing Office, this served to light but a small portion of the inundated streets. Every effort is being made to supply the immediate needs of the suburban residents driven from their homos, and while many in various districts were accommodated in empty houses, shelter and relief were also afforded at the Town Hall and other public places. Police and Defence Force men worked hard to save life and minimise, where possible, the destruction wrought, and many young men, members of athletic clubs and football and cricket teams, worked with a will, plying in boats the whole of Saturday night from point to point where help was needed. Where the local authorities took the work systematically in hand as in the case of Booroodabin much needless suffering was avoided, but an emergency of such an unexampled nature could not in any case be fully met.

    Pre wetting was to wash away potential radioactive contamination. Recent times it seems they discovered it also has a role in radar stealth, the water droplets absorb radio waves?👍

    Seems to be a 4-4-0T of some sort.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Or maybe a 4-4-0. According to wikipedia the last 4-4-0T was withdrawn in 1939.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Yep. Apparently it's a GNIR class PP 4-4-0.
