The flood killed seven people including four children, injured 15 and affected 500 people.〔Attorney General's Department Disasters Database ("Woden Valley, Canberra, ACT: Flash Flood" )〕 The insurance damage was estimated at A$ 9 million.〔 It was estimated that around 95 mm of rain fell in one hour during this event.〔Bureau of Meteorology ("Facts on Flash Floods in NSW" )〕 The Yarralumla Creek drainage channel peak rate of flow measured 186,891 litres per second at the Carruthers Street pluviograph near Yarra Glen at around 8:50pm.〔''The Canberra Times'', 16 March 1971, ''Interior 'not told' of flood danger''〕
The force of the water was strong enough to turn a bus 180 degrees on Melrose Drive south east of the intersection with Yarra Glen. The intersection was covered to a depth of an estimated 1.83m and the floodwaters spread an estimated 183m wide, east to west across the intersection of Yamba Drive, Melrose Drive and Yarra Glen. A number of people and cars were swept into the Yarralumla Creek drainage channel from a low level crossing at the junction of Yamba Drive, Melrose Drive and Yarra Glen. Yamba Drive was covered in fast flowing water to at least 275m south of the Hindmarsh Drive intersection where a white car and the driver were swept into the Long Gully drainage channel.
