Margaret says: ‘It is a tremendous honour and I am pleased that I was able to share the region’s history of floods and the stories of the people of Ipswich and Brisbane to reveal how this traumatic event affected their lives. I hope that we can learn from history to do all we can to avoid these events in the future.’
