Maitland Steamfest | Maitland Flood 2007

Maitland Flood 2007

On the 10th of June 2007 the Hunter River, fed by innumerable sources upstream, reached major flood levels inundating land already heavily saturated by excessive rainfall. Maitland proper was saved due to a strategic levee and spillway system. This gallery is our own little microcosm of a much greater event.

Quite an amazing documentary with many fine shots. It must seem really strange to have a lake appear like this, and for it to stay! Very well done.

We sit at home dry little bit of water lying around and we thought we had a bad storm. You see it on the news and it looks unbelievable but thank you for sending the photos, it looks like you were lucky. Good luck with the clean up, keep my babies dry and if you need any help give me a yell. Melinda Bargallie
