The Queensland Times reported 40 years ago today on 29 January 1974:
"RISING FLOODWATERS NEW THREAT TO GOODNA AREA".
The picture shows the Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen arriving at Limestone Park in Ipswich greeted by (from left) Evan Marginson (Member for Wolston), Vi Jordan (Member for Ipswich West), Ipswich Mayor George Hastings, Dr Llew Edwards (Member for Ipswich), Police Inspector J McCarthy and Federal Member for Oxley Bill Hayden.
Incidentally, the price of the QT in 1974 was 8 cents and inside there was an advertisement for house and land at Churchill for $12,490 (full price).
