One of the worst floods experienced in the Hawkesbury district for many years was that of last week. Roads and bridges everywhere were submerged, with the result that communication between various centres was suspended. Many farmers sustained heavy losses through the destruction of their crops and the sweeping away of fences.

Boats were requisitioned to convey passengers, luggage, and provisions across the swollen river…

The new Yarra[?]di Bridge was 15 feet under a raging torrent, which was estimated to be travelling down at the rate of 12 miles an hour. The most rapid rise in the history of Richmond took place, when from normal level the water went up 27 feet…
