As the Brisbane River burst its banks at Goodna on 11 January 2011, the club disappeared beneath the murky waters.
Today, it re-opened in a blaze of glory bigger, better and brighter before.
Local Councillor Paul Tully congratulated the club on its efforts to reopen.
"President Dave Christie, his Committee and hardworking staff deserve accolades of the highest order for restoring 'the old girl' and again giving the people of Greater Goodna a facility which we are all extremely proud of," Cr Tully said.
