WORST! 🇦🇺 Floods since 1977!!!

Floods in Cairns, Far North Queensland after Cyclone Jasper, Dec 2023

Cairns, a popular tourist destination situated in Far North Queensland, is no stranger to natural disasters. After enduring the wrath of Cyclone Jasper in December 2023, the region was hit with major flooding. It was the worst since 1977, causing significant damage to the community.

As the cyclone made landfall, it brought strong winds and heavy rains that led to flash flooding and landslides in the region. The aftermath of the cyclone left Cairns without power for several days, further exacerbating the impact of the flooding.

The floodwaters affected many parts of Cairns, leaving numerous homes and businesses damaged or destroyed. The Far North Queensland community came together to support each other during this time, with volunteers, emergency services, and government agencies working tirelessly to bring relief and assistance to those affected.

The floods had a severe impact on the local economy, with the cancellation of many tourist activities and closures of numerous businesses. The region was also faced with environmental challenges, such as damage to the beaches and coral reefs in the Great Barrier Reef.

The floods in Cairns serve as a reminder of the destructive power of natural disasters and the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of adversity. Cairns and Far North Queensland will continue to rebuild and recover, with the community's spirit shining through adversity.
