Living with Water

A history of flooding on the Barron River

Living with Water is a project telling stories about what happened and what we did when Bana Bidagarra, the Barron River, flooded.  It explores the river’s history and experiences of people affected by the flooding.  Through this legacy of experiences we are learning how to manage better during future floods, as well as celebrate a staunch community spirit.

You are invited to explore these stories using our latest touchscreen technology.  If you have information of your own to share, please feel free to contact us at CairnsDCC@cairns.qld.gov.au or call 4044 3377.

Enjoy the presentation!
