1956 Murray River flood
The 1956 Murray River flood involved the rising of waters in the Murray River and flooding of many towns in three states of Australia, including the towns of Colignan, Iraak, Mannum, Murray Bridge, Mildura, Nangiloc, Red Cliffs, Renmark,〔''Renmark's Railway Flood Operations 1931 and 1956'' Shields, B.P. Australian Railway History, March 2004 pp88-91〕 Wentworth and many others.
The flood occurred due to higher than average rainfalls in Western Queensland and heavy rains in the proceeding three months in Murray catchment areas,〔(Past droughts and floods ), Accessed 15 September 2007〕 peaking at 12.3 metres at Morgan, South Australia.〔 Some areas were flooded up to 100 km from the natural flow of the river.
The flood was and still is considered the biggest flood in the recorded history of the River Murray and described as "the greatest catastrophe in South Australia’s history".
As a result of the flood, the Menindee Lakes were constructed to store high flows from the Darling River.〔
