There were a couple of segments of authentic newsreel footage. Where did these newsreels take place?

I'm fairly sure 'some' of the real-life footage was taken from some floods that happened in Newcastle, Australia...
2 major floods occured in the area...one way back when, the other a few years ago. If you do a google search...you should be able to find the old flood I'm speaking about ;)

I'm 99% sure this is the flood in question ;)

news reels...that might match up...
Thank you. I think you're right. I never knew about this Australian Flood. I was struck by the cat that missed it's first try getting to the roof of the house (of all things). So much more to worry about in a flood...
