My relative lives in the northern end of Prince Street. They were evacuated, by the SES, in a Rubber Duckie, for the entire length of the street to Argyle Street, where they transferred to a vehicle.
Her elevated house flooded, as did the car in the driveway, surrounded by approximately one metre of water. In the 2017 flood the water was over-topping the railway line. Prince Street does flood.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
