Bouncing Back From Disaster

Overview

For some, it can be hard to believe that the Queensland floods were over a year ago now. Our community was brought together so quickly to repair the damages that our broken riverbank that within a week following the floods, Brisbane was almost back to how it was before the rain began. Almost. While a lot of the city is back to its original state, there are still many reminders of what happened last January.

The Queensland Museum was one of the buildings heavily affected by floods. Closed for much of last year, it has recently reopened to be even better than before. In memorandum of past events, the Museum, in partnership with ABC Open, have curated Bouncing Back From Disaster, a display of artifacts and stories from Queenslanders discussing the impacts of the floods. It’s an honest, hard-hitting exhibition that resonates and relates to everyone in our river city.
