Summary
From the ABC News team behind Lake Eyre and Return to Lake Eyre, After the Deluge is a documentary on the flash flooding that decimated the Lockyer Valley on 10th January 2011 and its aftermath. Detailing the constant rain over the preceding months, the film combines the personal stories of ABC journalist Paul Lockyer and the ABC News crew with the amazing tales of survival of the townspeople. With previously unseen footage of water engulfing Grantham, this film is a compelling record of an event unparalleled in Australian history. The experience, even for seasoned journalists, was shocking and unforgettable. 2 hour extended cut of documentary with loads of additional segments including: Paul Lockyer's extended interviews with flood victims; indepth city-by-city overview of flood damage; the live-giving benefits of the floodwaters as they reach the Murray River; the effects of Cyclone Yasi on the area
