The Duck Pond park on The Avenue became an inland sea last week.
WATERLOGGED LIVING SIX DAYS OF RAIN INCLUDING ONE WITH MORE THAN 370MM SAW THE ROADS, PARKS AND STREETS OF PEREGIAN SPRINGS AND PEREGIAN BREEZE INUNDATED WITH WATER LAST WEEK.
The playground at The Duckpond Park had close waterfront views as the path around the pond went under and water crept over picnic sets, walking bridges and the viewing platform. At Peregian Breeze the road was blocked near the entrance to Peregian Beach College for several hours as water pooled at the lowest point. Peregian Springs News - March 2022
School was cancelled on February 28 as the State Government urged everyone to stay home and away from flooded roads while the clean up began. The Bruce Highway was closed to the north at Gympie and south from Caloundra to Caboolture for at least 24 hours, affecting the re-supply of local supermarkets which left residents with the strange sensation of walking in to find fresh food sections totally stripped of product on Monday night. It is expected there will continue to be transport challenges at least a week in the wake of flooding along the east coast as far as Lismore.
