#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Maiwar was here first, but what happened that allowed two cities to grow on its banks? And what can we do to better live with our river? Historian Margaret Cook brings the story of Brisbane's relationship with its river to Yeronga, a suburb greatly affected by flooding in 2011.
