Drying buildings in Townsville
Townsville is dry tropical, which means long, hot, mostly dry winters and a wet season that arrives all at once. When it rains it floods, and the homes built on the flat land south of the Ross River, from Idalia and Oonoonba through to Rosslea and Hermit Park, are the ones that go under. High summer humidity and cyclone season make mould a fact of life across the city.
The February 2019 monsoon dropped more than a metre of rain in ten days, forced the Ross River Dam spillway to open and flooded an estimated 3,300 homes across Idalia, Oonoonba, Rosslea, Hermit Park, Railway Estate and Bluewater. Cyclone Yasi in 2011 and Kirrily in January 2024 both caused widespread roof and water damage across the region.
