  • FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the LOGAN & ALBERT RIVERS
    Bureau Home > Australia > Queensland > Rainfall & River Conditions > River Brochures > Logan and Albert FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the LOGAN & ALBERT RIVERS This brochure describes the flood warning system operated by the Australian Government, Bureau of Meteorology for the Logan and Albert Rivers. It includes reference information which will be useful for understanding Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins issued by the Bureau's Flood Warning Centre during periods of high rainfall and flooding. Contained in this document is information about: (Last updated September 2019) Flood Risk Previous Flooding Flood Forecasting Local Information Flood Warnings and Bulletins Interpreting Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins Flood Classifications Other Links Looking upstream at Beenleigh on the Albert River Flood Risk The Logan River has a catchment area of about 3850 square kilometres and lies in the south east corner of Queensland. The catchment extends from the Logan City-Beenleigh area in the north to the McPherson Ranges in the south on the Queensland-NSW border. The major tributaries are the Albert River and Teviot Brook. Smaller tributaries include Running, Christmas, Burnett and Canungra Creeks in the headwaters. Major flooding is experienced in both rural and urban areas of the catchment although major flooding in the upper part of the catchment does not necessarily result in significant flooding in the lower catchment. Scrubby and Slacks Creeks in the lower reaches of the Logan River can be subject to flash flooding as well as backwater flooding during major river flood events. Previous Flooding Records of large floods in the Logan-Albert Rivers extend back as far as 1887, and since then there have been several major flood events.

  • North Stradbroke Island Historical Museum Association Inc
    NORTH STRADBROKE ISLAND HISTORICAL MUSEUM ASSOCIATION INC. ANNUAL REPORT 15th September 2017 It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report for 2016/2017. The major milestone and event for the year was our 30th Anniversary celebration on 13th May with a community function at the Museum and the running of two big raffles. I thank all the generous donors to those raffles and to all the ticket buyers. We also thank Bernadette Ryan for her great work in arranging all the Raffle prizes and making the raffles so exciting. The function and the Raffles were very successful fund raisers and we will be carefully considering the special uses we put the money toward. As part of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, the Museum collected artwork from every Dunwich State School Class inspired by the Museum Collection, and I am sure everybody enjoyed them posted all over the Museum at the student’s discretion. Long serving Management Committee Members Margaret Nash and Barbara Smith will not be standing for re-election this year. Margaret as Treasurer and Barbara as Secretary and Display convener have for many years given invaluable service to the Museum. We wish them well in their retirement. On behalf of the Museum I want to express our appreciation of the work all the volunteers contributed through the year. And both Lisa and Elisabeth who contribute far more time and effort than we could ever pay them for. Lisa and Elisabeth have both been granted valuable Research Awards this year. Elisabeth is being funded to do research at the Queensland Maritime Museum and Lisa has been granted a Fellowship with the Queensland State Library.
