It has been almost 8 months since Lismore experienced it’s worst flooding in recorded history.
Something striking driving around town at nighttime is the vast number of residences still unable to be occupied by their owners or tenants. Some entire streets have only 1 or 2 houses occupied, indicating the scale of people still displaced by this natural disaster.
This photograph was made in South Lismore last night. One house with inhabitants, another, still an empty shell, waiting to be rebuilt.
This scene can be viewed on almost every street in North, South and parts of East Lismore.
