Hervey Bay's biggest fear
ELI WATERS would be swallowed by swamp, most of Craignish and Dundowran would look remarkably like Venice and the term riverfront properties would take on a whole new meaning in some parts of Maryborough.

The new guide contains information on what to do and who to call in an emergency and will be delivered to homes around the region in the coming weeks.
