- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- We were allowed into the flood zone to witness the Maribyrnong River flooding first hand to report on what was happening on the ground. The Anglers Tavern Hotel suffered extensive damage in the Melbourne floods, as did hundreds of homes that were submerged underwater.
Devastated residents returned their homes this morning to assess the damage. Affected streets include Clyde Street, the Esplanade, Chiffley Drive, Leopold Street, Anglers Way and Ensign Street, Maribyrnong.
This is a compilation of our footage and footage from other witnesses.
We were reporting live for Sunrise on Seven.

Devastating had a beer in that pub.
Been a tough ten years for Victoria.
Bushfires COVID floods.
l hope everyone takes the time to be thankfull for health and how lucky we are...
YES! Hang in there! Step by step...
I lived near Aberfeldie athletic complex for 3 decades. 1993 saw similar flooding in the area. The Anglers Tavern was a mess at that time as well. But that's nature... we have to accept the good with the bad. It's not a force we can hold back. Often we can only look on in awe.
Around that time water was above the bridge because I couldn't drive across to get to work.
@@irena.el.o4198 That's correct! Of course, no social media back then. So this current flood is a feast for news hounds.
Council should stop allowing people to live and build in these flood prone areas.
The Deputy Premier of Queensland earlier this year made a interesting comment re development -flowing from the major flooding (here in Brisbane) earlier this year. Governments have to do better as the mental toll of people is unacceptable. For me personally, I have experienced the Brisbane floods of 1974, January 2011, Tropical Cyclone Oswald, Cyclone Debbie and will governments really do anything. The ALP ( back in the mid 1970's) had this Party policy to "mass-populate the Eastern Seaboard" and guess what, that policy is still in force but not visible. Mother Nature has severely impacted parts of Victoria and it was only a matter of time that Tasmania, Victoria, would have a taste of what Queensland's SE region has gone through. I have a active interest in the weather scene and people need to be prepared. This Summer can't be ignored.
They don’t care!!!! It’s all about MONEY………
Do your own research
How I wish I could help
The Anglers Tavern getting water up to that level is nothing new. It’s built next to the river, I remember this happening several times before. Presumably that’s why it’s built with the main area raised up. It’s basically a cost of them doing business in that location. Unfortunate but this won’t be the last time it happens.
Also when the pub was upgraded in the late 90's/early 2000's the lower floor was designed with the likelihood of flood almost a certainty. If they get enough notice, they take out the furniture, roll up the carpet and open the big floor to ceiling concertina windows and let the water in. The video shows the open windows at about 0:45. When the water subsides, they hose it out, put it all back and get back to pouring beer. I notice all the tables in the beer garden are stainless steel, probably for the same reason.
@@nongbloke must have good foundations not to get undermined by water.
This seems just like it was in 1974 when there was a similar flood. I worked at a factory just across from the tavern (RYCO)
Do these houses get written off? How does it work with insurance etc.
Maybe not insured for flood. They’re built in a flood plain area, hard to believe any insurance company would cover them.
I assume many of them will foot the bill themselves.
They live there cause the houses are (relatively) cheap
@@shaunmckenzie5509 Cheap!!! Mate try millions of dollars, they are waterfront properties 15 km from the CBD, tram network covering the area and Highpoint shopping centre 5 mins away.
@@stavio12 those houses that got flooded definitely aren't worth millions of dollars
Forget the pub, focus on the people who lost their homes and belongings.
We did, all morning the live coverage. This was filmed at 6am before any of them were up returning to their homes.
@@ChristieCooper Okay, thanks for the clarification.
Ahhh.. Million dollar waterfront properties, you gotta love them.

Horse rack tack has the flooding wall built.... it indicated that gov KNOW there is flooding chance along this river... that's why they give advice of horse race track unit to build a nice flooding wall........ why the wall built NOT cover the residential area,,, only for business of race track ??? Horse is more important than residents... Gov always only protect their work... or their private property...
😪😪💔🙏
Choose to Live near a river expect floods over time bad luck
Absolutely insane to allow buildings in this area. Turn it into a green zone with parks, like a 'river sponge', wetlands etc
Government can buy the land and compensate for such atrocious planning decisions.
All built in flood plains................!
Please be careful always pray Jesus Christ coming soon 🗽🙏😥
By boat?
🙏
I prayed for rain, I guess he really does hear 🙏🏼 Now I will pray for lots of cash 💰
@@amraceway Yes. In an Arc he found that someone dumped.
And none of these residents ever listened to Jesus, who said in The Bible that the foolish man builds his house upon the sand. And when the rains came down and the floods came up, the foolish man's house got washed away.
