As floodwaters rose, over 200 individuals sought refuge at Thargomindah airport, with some sleeping in their cars and others in campervans. The entire population of the southwest Queensland community evacuated to higher ground at the airport after the nearby levee broke, causing widespread flooding.

Residents, including Nancy Sparks, recounted the levee bank deteriorating in the days leading up to the evacuation. The floodwaters surpassed the local record, reaching 7.5m and continuing to rise, prompting concerns for the town’s safety.

Despite the challenging situation, the community remained resilient, with Mayor John Ferguson expressing hope that the worst was over. However, with the floodwaters persisting, residents may have to endure another night at the airport, facing the most severe flooding in over 50 years.

The impact of the flooding extended beyond Thargomindah, affecting western and southern inland Queensland on an unprecedented scale. The looming threat of further rainfall from ex-tropical cyclone Dianne heightened the risk of rising water levels, exacerbating the already dire situation.

As the region braced for more rain, concerns mounted for graziers who faced potential livestock losses and infrastructure damage. The army stepped in to provide support, delivering supplies to keep animals fed amidst the crisis.

The devastation caused by the floods was widespread, with homes destroyed, roads impassable, and livestock at risk. Helicopter pilots mobilized to assist in rescues and supply drops, navigating challenging conditions to reach isolated communities.

The scale of the damage was described as “immeasurable” by Queensland Premier David Crisafulli, emphasizing the long road to recovery ahead. Major flood warnings remained in place across Queensland and into New South Wales, with communities bracing for isolation lasting up to two months.

Despite the challenges faced by Thargomindah and surrounding areas, the community’s resilience shone through as locals worked tirelessly to protect their town. Mayor Ferguson commended the unity and strength displayed by residents during the crisis, highlighting the unwavering spirit that prevailed amidst adversity.
