Saw a mention of this on the News. The cheap and nasty solution. I much prefer to avoid flooding of Australian towns in the first place.
We know how to make towns floodproof. We know how to build homes floodproof.
So, government, pull your finger out and frikkin’ do it.

Yeah. Shift the fucking rivers.
We have the fact that Sydney basin is currently quite full and draining slowly.
I’m not up to exacty where all the long wall coal mining has been carried out in the Sydney basin but it could be a worry if suddenly it is discovered that something is different from the last 101 year flood. A hundred years ago the impact of longwall coal mining was minimal by comparison.
If you live near the Colo river, get out before 8 AM.
Current warning.
