The Disastrous Flood at North-East Valley, Dunedin, on Sunday, December 24.
It was a little after 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, December 24, when a deluge broke over Pine Hill, part of the great volume of water rushing into the North-East Valley, and the remaining portion pursuing its course of destruction down the Bishopsgrove Gorge, and then into the Woodhaugh Valley. As will be seen in the accompanying pictures, the main North-East Valley road was one unbroken sheet of water, stretching from the Normanby tram terminus to some distance below the Botanical Gardens. The flood in some places was three, four, an even five feet deep, and as it swept along, it poured through fences, over gardens, and into dwellings, leaving a trail of devastation
