Dean Saffron: Condamine - Flood Evacuation

In the wake of the record floods in Queensland Australia, the small town of Condamine in the south west of the State was only the second in Queensland's history to be fully and forcibly evacuated.

The residents were allowed to return to their homes more then a week later to find utter devastation - and to begin the heart breaking task of cleaning up and rebuilding their shattered lives.

(Update - the residents return only lasted a few days before they were all evacuated for the second time as flood waters rose yet again.)
