The newspapers of the day sent photographers out to record the floods. Many suburbs were affected, but the photos you see here come from Brunswick, Merlynston and North Coburg.

Herald, 26 February 1946. Note that milk was then delivered to Merlynston by car and that the man on the right was collecting his milk despite the rain.

My favourite photo, though, is this one of a chook that had laid an egg on a 44 gallon drum somewhere in North Coburg.
