Summary[edit]

Description
English: Creator: Unidentified

Location: Bundaberg, Queensland
Description: The Millaquin Distillery fire at Bundaberg was one of the worst the state had ever seen. A lightening strike caused the blaze which was fuelled by 2000L of rum and 600L of white and methylated spirits.
Thousands of dead fish washed up from the the Burnett River over the next few days, poisoned by the alcohol that spilled into the river.
