The Gold Coast Bulletin said that it It was just last week the idea of a street party was conceived, but on Friday the street was filled with entertainers, singers and food stalls.
Myer and Harvey Norman kicked off the fundraiser with a $750,000 donation.
Katie Page-Harvey, the CEO of the Harvey Norman Group, who grew up in St George and Rockhampton and lived in Brisbane during the 1974 flood, said watching the horrific events of the past week bought back so many memories she wanted to help.
”People need cash,” she said.
”They have no idea what they are going to come home to: mud up the walls, everything ruined and a stench that lingers for such a long time after the water recedes,” she told the Bulletin.
