The SES team had been working on completing the project of putting in Flood Markers over the course of many months around Charleville and are now at the finish line.
The SES Shed launches the start of the 1990 flood marker tour through town.
Keep your eyes peeled for flood markers at locations across town such as the Police Station marker pictured.
Each marker shows the flood levels over the last 60+ years as well as a story from the devastating 1990 flood.
Read all about the floods and get to look over the retired Flood Boat and don’t forget a selfie.
Bring a Pen for the cache.
The State Emergency Service (SES) is a volunteer organisation, established by an Act of Parliament in 1975. Under the Act, every local authority in Queensland is responsible for maintaining SES Units within their communities.
The SES Units are made up of local people who have volunteered to prepare themselves and their communities to minimise the effects of a disaster. SES volunteers do not receive payment.
Under the motto, "Be Aware", the basic concept of the SES is to encourage self-help and mutual assistance within each community. The SES Units support the statutory services (Police, Fire and Ambulance) where an emergency or disaster is beyond the resources of those services.
