Queensland's flood plume stretches 2300km along the coast from Cooktown to Grafton and up to 120km out into the Coral Sea.

The floods are spreading, still. About 10 minutes ago I was listening to a queenslander on the radio who called in saying it had reached the gold coast.
Thats really close the the NSW border - that would also make it more than half of QLD affected now right?
(right now) 2 women have been swept away in tawoomba....
gympie is flooding right this minute - people are evacuating many towns right now - the man is describing a 'mini wave' down the main street due to the waters rising SO quickly. I used to live in tin can bay half hours drive from gympie.
People are listening to abc radio AM to know which roads are closing so they can actually escape the floods.
I think we should also mention that areas of W.A have also flooded causing mass damage - though the situation is apparently not as severe.
Gillard may give more to W.A flood victims
W.A flooding cause widespread devistation
W.A roads closed

I hope they got out ok & found shelter The doc was saying on the radio before how bizarre it was for a mountain town to flood...? seems bizarre to me. I wonder if Tin can flooded also? there's only one road out of Tin can and its through gympie...if gympies flooded about 200 people will be stuck there.
Yeah Toowoomba copped it SO bad this afternoon/today - I've made another thread in Fragile earth from it - you should check out the video, it's terrifying how quickly that water came through, i've got the worst feeling at the moment as I know a few people up there and down under in the lower towns .
Here's the link to watch the vid Flash floods wreak havoc through toowoomba
