The 1974 Brisbane flood which ravaged much of Brisbane largely left Paddington proper alone . The main roads and shops of Paddington were on the ridge tops and it was only the houses in the gullies and dips that were affected . The same can not be said of the Rosalie area or that part of Paddington near Milton where flood waters affected most properties , at some points reaching roof lines
