History & geography

History

Moora was one of the original stations on the Midland railway line to Walkaway, and the townsite was gazetted in 1895. The town was left underwater in 1932 when heavy rainfall inundated the town, causing severe flooding. The town was left isolated as both rail lines and roads had portions washed away. Over half the town was submerged to a depth of , and once the waters receded, was left under a thick coating of mud. Crops and stock in the surrounding area were also lost. In March 1999, the town suffered a major flood when ex-Tropical Cyclone Elaine caused the Moore River to break its banks, with 1000 people evacuated. Just as the community was recovering, another major rainfall event on the already saturated land in May of the same year caused yet another flood in the town.
