    Hi all. Does anyone live in Gladstone or know anyone who does? If so, do you know if the area was affected by the recent QLD flooding? And if so to what extent? Also if you could point me to any news articles about the floods in Gladstone (if it was flooded) that would be good.

    Thanks in advance.

    No, it wasn't really affected. Lost some of the beach at the boyne river entrance, flooding in the Boyne Valley (beyond Calliope) but that was just a few roads (I think) and Lake Awoonga was high and a couple of businesses there were affected. I think those businesses applied for flood relief and didn't get it as Gladstone was not considered a flood affect area. Our water catchment area is much smaller than Rocky or Bundy.
