It is famous for its floods. The 1949 flood was particularly destructive, having washed a large part of the town centre away when the railway viaduct which was acting as a dam-wall due to a build-up of debris against the railway bridge gave way.  The area most affected by this flood is now the site of playing fields.  The shire council has a policy of buying up land in areas designated as flood plains and many houses have been transported to higher ground in recent years.  Other major floods occurred in 1949, 1950, 1963, 2001, 2009.
