You can see that the Tarago had water up to the side skirts of the car. At that point the water was over topping the kerb by about 100mm.
At the same time, the foot path off to the left of the picture had water about 50mm deep across it, and many of the TAFE students were strugging to get through with dry shoes, some made the mad dash, but a few waited and hoped it would go away soon.
