Incredible before-and-after aerial imagery has revealed the extent of recent deluge and devastation in the Hunter Region following the July 2022 floods.
The Hunter River peaked just shy of 14m last week, spilling across several rural communities and submerging properties for days.
Thousands of residents were displaced from their homes in Singleton, Maitland, and Wollombi, as well as Farley, Lower Belford and Louth Park, to name a few.
People lost precious belongings, livestock and assets as the river rose around them, leaving many stranded with limited resources until help was available.
The aerial imagery, provided by Nearmap, shows how far the murky floodwaters have travelled.
Check out the incredible photos below.
