Over half the town was submerged to a depth of 3 feet (90 cm), and once the waters receded, was left under a thick coating of mud.

Surrounding the town are several rural activities such as the growing of wheat, barley, canola, oaten hay and lupins, as well as the raising of sheep, cattle and pigs.
