Description

During the past two weeks the Atherton Tablelands have been experiencing very heavy rains that have flooded the low lying areas and increased the transport difficulties on the Tablelands. A landslide on the Kuranda range in Cairns district has dislocated traffic between Cairns and Marreba. Men worked on 4 February 1945 removing large quanities of earth and stone which had fallen between Stoney Creek and Barron Falls.
