Summary
Three months after Bundaberg’s floods, cleanup crews are still wrestling with 35 salvaged boats and 26 scattered pontoons—some drifting over 100km away—posing serious navigation risks. With six more months of work ahead, local businesses like Linda Ashworth’s boat yard are still reeling, forced to take loans and hesitate to rebuild. Meanwhile, the Port of Bundaberg reopened by mid-April, signaling a fragile economic recovery as owners face steep salvage costs—or potential government intervention if they can’t remove their vessels.
