We have a house in Bundaberg, it is out past the airport. Out at Kentucky Blue Grass Estate.
It's an old estate over 20 years old. It has very deep open drains out the front of houses for when we get a lot of rain, but with in a few days they are empty again. I had a look on google earth and our house in 43m, where they had flooding in town is only at about 12m.

Everyone thinks that because we have the big drains that we flood….. Nope not us.

I am very glad that we did not buy a house in town now.
