Beswick, a community built on resilience, floods once again
The waters of the Waterhouse River rose on the weekend. Twelve properties in the "old suburb" in Beswick were evacuated to the designated emergency shelter ("new school") over the weekend. A few of these houses were inundated with low levels of water and residents of these properties remain housed elsewhere.
