 Flood Warning System for the Thompson & Barcoo Rivers & Cooper Creek
The network consists of a number of volunteer rainfall and river height observers who forward observations by telephone when the initial flood height has been exceeded at their station, as well as automatic telephone telemetry stations at Longreach, Barcaldine and Blackall, which are operated by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines.
Historical flood heights for all river stations in the Thomson, Barcoo Rivers and Cooper Creek Floodwarning network, as shown on the map, are available from the Bureau of Meteorology upon request.
At each flood warning river height station, the severity of flooding is described as minor, moderate or major according to the effects caused in the local area or in nearby downstream areas.

 THE MYSTERY OF LEICHHARDT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Brisbane tribe, ranging from Brisbane to the Caboolture River, was named “Boobbera,” and that on the south side was “Coorpooroo-jaggin,” from whence the name Coorparoo, which should be Coorpooroo, with accent on the poo.
It is doubtful whether natives have ever given distinctive names to rivers, for the simple reason that each tribe knows little of the river’s course beyond their own territory, and each tribe would use a different sound, or word, to describe the same river, as witness Mr.
The name was given first to a sugar farm on the Albert River, by John Davey, “in memory of my native village in England.” Floods in the Albert River, and later the needs of the railway, caused the site of the early township to be changed twice, but each time it retained its name Beenleigh.
