October
2004 Flooding in Bellingen
There
was a significant flood in Bellingen in October 2004. This was
an unusual time of year for flooding in town and followed very
high rainfall in a short period of time. As can be seen from the
graphs below there was a very sharp flood peak but the flood subsided
as quickly as it arose.
