This image depicts Victoria Bridge over the Brisbane River in February 1896. The bank of the river is covered in strewn peices of wood. The Victoria Bridge suffered extensive damage during the February 1893 floods and a temporary wooden extension was built and opened in September of the same year. Another flood in 1896, however, threatened to destroy the wooden section of the bridge so workers were called to clear the debris. By 15 February 1896, the bridge was declared safe, however, piles had been broken causing the bridge to sag.

This photograph is part of a black and white negative strip containing four images.

This image is of a flooded street with boys and some men standing in the foreground posing for the photograph. In the background are several horse drawn carriages. The awning on one shop reads 'Victorian Insurance'. The plate which the photograph was taken of had the top left corner missing and therefore the image has a large section in the top left which is black. In the bottom right hand corner is written P.C. Poulsen.
