The once-in-a-century flood that brought hope to drought-stricken communities | 60 Minutes Australia

Nov 14 2023

In 2010 following a once-in-a-hundred-year drought in the Australian outback that lasted a decade, communities welcomed a mighty flood that cover an area half the size of Europe. Heavy rains have quenched the dry lands, cutting off farms from land access and threatening livestock, but the locals have never been happier. With the water, the land came alive.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
