There are lagoons and waterways that manage the water runoff well on a year to year basis for most areas but you can also search online for something like 'flood zone maps Hervey Bay' and that will give you the council disaster inundation mapping for an initial indication. If purchasing a house I'd get the assessment for the individual property. Quite a few years ago now there was a storm surge warning with a cyclone, it's like a tsunami but caused by weather conditions rather than seismic shifts, it didn't eventuate but if it ever did it would have a major property impact. At the moment the issue is more low rain levels, we were out at Lenthalls Dam, the water source for the area a month back and it can't have been more than half full and everywhere is looking very dry in town.

I hope you enjoy your shift.

That sounds great Jared, that's something we haven't done, I'll look up some more information.

Definitely! We haven't been for a couple of years and I believe it's even better now. Will have to add that to our own list to revisit next time we are up there.

Thanks Suzanne, we'd love to see your park. What a great location you have for access to the Fraser Island ferry and the Mary River mouth too. We saw our first Australian humpback dolphins just down the road from you there.
