In January 2013, the city of Bundaberg was devastated with its worst flood on record, leaving thousands of residents homeless and living in shelters. With a population of just under 100,000 people, more than 200 homes have been destroyed and 7,500 people stranded as a result. Many towns in the state of Queensland were flooded during this time, however Bundaberg was the hardest hit.

A team of eight California residents have joined forces to help make a difference for those who really need it. By making a donation through this website, you will be contributing to the rebuilding efforts of the residents of Bundaberg; helping families to rebuild their homes and get their lives back in order.

​

Bundaberg was described as being like a "war zone" after the waters receded. What was left behind looked like a scene out of a movie. Some houses were completely washed away while others sunk into the saturated ground, roads and other structures were destroyed and silt and debris littered the areas that were flooded. 

​

The clean-up has begun, but it is going to take years for the city to get back to where it was.
