Abstract
As explained in Section 7.2 of McMahon and Kiem (2018a), ‘to conduct the more rigorous statistical analysis required to formally prove or disprove, the hypothesis of a nominal 40 year cycle in South East Queensland (SEQ) flooding at least 25–30 samples of 40 year periods containing annual maximum flow data would be required. That corresponds to 1000–1200 years of data which are obviously not available and is the reason simple tests are used in Sections 3–5’.
期刊介绍：
The Australasian Journal of Water Resources ( AJWR) is a multi-disciplinary regional journal dedicated to scholarship, professional practice and discussion on water resources planning, management and policy. Its primary geographic focus is on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Papers from outside this region will also be welcomed if they contribute to an understanding of water resources issues in the region. Such contributions could be due to innovations applicable to the Australasian water community, or where clear linkages between studies in other parts of the world are linked to important issues or water planning, management, development and policy challenges in Australasia. These could include papers on global issues where Australasian impacts are clearly identified.
