Fraga's Cafe, Marysville ~ A Story of Recovery

Floods Couldn't Keep A Good Town Down!

Sharyn Innes from Katherine, NT tells how the region was able to bounce back from floods

In 1998, more than 500mm of rain fell in less than 72 hours in the catchment surrounding the township of Katherine in the Northern Territory.  The inundation threatened to simply end tourism to that region for the foreseeable future.  Instead, the local industry, led by Sharyn Innes and her team, rallied to use this apparent disaster as a way to catapult tourism to the top of the agenda.
