Yarra River flooded - Fairfield Canoe Club

The Yarra River flooded. This would be the last major flood as the Upper Yarra Reservoir was finally completed in 1957.

Approval to construct Upper Yarra Reservoir was granted in the early 1940s but due to World War II work did not start until 1948. Initially being constructed for the purpose of preventing flooding downstream.
