Throw back Thursday – Resilience in the Face of Flood
In August 1934, the people of Port Pirie faced one of the most devastating floods in the town’s history. Following heavy rain, gale-force winds and extreme tidal conditions, muddy seawater surged through streets, homes and businesses. Families were forced to seek refuge on rooftops, children were rescued from swirling floodwaters, and entire neighbourhoods were left under feet of water.
Yet amid the hardship, something remarkable emerged.
As the floodwaters slowly receded, a powerful spirit of resilience and community care took hold. Neighbours helped neighbours. Volunteers worked tirelessly to clean homes, sort donations and support families who had lost so much. Across South Australia, sympathy and practical assistance flowed towards Port Pirie.
The South Australian Country Women’s Association played an important role in these relief efforts. Working alongside community organisations and volunteers, CWA members helped sort, pack and distribute essential supplies to those affected. Their practical support provided comfort and hope at a time when it was needed most.
Today, resilience remains an important part of wellbeing. It is not about avoiding hardship, but about finding strength in community, supporting one another, and rebuilding together when challenges arise.
The story of the 1934 Port Pirie flood reminds us that even in our darkest moments, kindness, connection and collective action can help communities recover and thrive.

With extreme heat forecast across South Australia, and many communities likely to face a week of temperatures over 40°C, these conditions also bring an increased fire risk.
Please take extra care to stay cool and hydrated, check in on friends, neighbours and fellow members, and look after yourself and your pets 🐾.
If fire warnings or alerts are issued, stay alert and don’t leave decisions to act too late — early action can make all the difference.
Wishing everyone a safe, cool and connected long weekend.
