This black-and-white photograph of disastrous floods in 1893 shows an inundated section of the Brisbane central business district. The photograph provides a view from Adelaide Street towards the Brisbane River - past a group of men, women and children and a saddled horse at the water's edge, and down Creek Street with its avenue of commercial single- to four-storey buildings. There are several rowboats in the water and several people are immersed to their waists or chests.
