Brisbane is still reeling from the devastation it has recently suffered. Torrential rains inundated the state which resulted in record floods that submerged large areas in feet of floodwaters.
If you’re going on a tour of Australia, it would be a good idea to not visit Brisbane for the time being. With relief efforts and reconstruction ongoing, the place is just too busy with more important things that local inhabitants badly need.
Australia is such a large country that you can rebook your plans and just go to a number of other places that will be a great stop for your vacation in Australia.

Do you still remember in your history book the different goldrushes that happened all over the world? From the Yukon Territories down to South Africa, almost all gold diggers circumnavigated the whole world just to find that precious little ore. The same thing happened in Australia. Halls Creek was originally an old settlement for the Aborigines, but due to the greediness of certain gold miners, the Aborigines were left with nothing. They had no choice but to relocate.
Thus, the 2 Halls Creeks were born. The old Halls Creek (original) is now a tourist spot, with all the different sights to see.
The place is rich in history. You might want to take a peek.
