About this audio guide
This guide to Museum of Brisbane turns on the twenty eleven floods that put much of the inner city underwater, and what the museum did a decade later when it asked residents for their raw memories rather than the official numbers. You will hear from an eleven year old evacuating in the dark and an artist who turned those recollections into watercolours. It also reaches back to an even bigger flood in the eighteen nineties, and why a civic hall ended up built a floor above both.
