It is alleged that Toowoomba means Two Woombas - or swamps - but you really have just one big one where the town CBD was built, drained by East Creek and West Creek.

The historical reference comes from the diary of a guy who made no such mention on his trip out of town, but wrote than when he returned a while later.

Good Song Bob, can you do a thread on it?

Btw, Brisbane 1974 was about 5.5 metres (this was lower, but interesting it is alleged that some places were affected this time that were - so their owners say - not affected in 1974) - anecdotal indigenous references mention between 10-12 metres.... gurgle, gurgle ... :-)

The King tides of the last few days have caused reflooding of some areas.
