ARI's Dr Margaret Cook @mcookhistory had a great opinion piece in The Age & syndicated newspapers on Australia Day, about the 74 floods and the myth of Wivenhoe Dam which continues to linger @AANZEHN @HazardsResearch @latrobe Read on here: theage.com.au/national/queen…

Fifty years on from the ’74 floods, the myth of Wivenhoe Dam lingers

At the opening of the dam in 1985, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen declared he doubted if a flood on the scale of 1974 could occur again. Newspapers propagated the myth.
