These are some photographs of  Koo-Wee-Rup and surrounds in what maybe the 1924 flood or the 1934 flood from the  Koo-Wee-Rup Swamp Historical Society collection.









This is the Railway bridge, there  are people at either end of the bridge.

Drying out after the flood, this is possibly the 1934 flood.
