Total Rainfall: 33".11 = 840 mm (in two days) with maximum hourly rainfall of 3.35" = 85 mm.
Dozens of landslides occurred, the severest damages were at the Albany Nullah and the Glenealy Nullah.
At the Albany Nullah, two bridges of the Peak Tramway were washed away, just a few minutes after the last tram passed by. Also the Albany Filter beds were filled with mud and debris, and the Kennedy Road Bridge over the nullah was destroyed.
