2022 has gotten off to a wet start with flood waters from the Mary River inundating the Bond Store and the lower lying parts of the city. The water peaked at 9.96m at Mcallister Street Gauge at Portside. The water rose to about half a metre below the floorboards of the first floor at the Bond Store. A massive team effort ensured all the display pieces on the ground floor were moved safely to higher ground. We are now in the process of remediation works to dry out and stablise the ground floor in order to ensure the integrity of this historically significant building. While the Bond Store will remain closed for some time, you can still get your fix of all the delicious ports, liqueurs and produce you would normally find at our new ‘Pop- Up Store’ located just around the corner at The Story Bank, so be sure to pop in and say hello.
