Melbourne and Victoria have been through many floods and storms throughout history. However, one of the most significant and damaging in modern times was that in 1934.
The Yarra River and many other watercourses burst their banks, creating vast lakes of water that displaced thousands of people, killed 36 and caused damage to every single suburb of Melbourne and many other places across the state.
