It's pretty bad in Queensland. Nice and dry where I am though. I've got a cousin in Rockhampton which has been badly hit, but haven't heard from him to find out whether all is OK with him.
The flood there is not the worst they've had, 1991 was about half a metre higher and the worst they have had was in 1918 which was a couple of metres more than the current one.
What is slightly more unusual this year is the number of rivers in flood at the same time in QLD. Apparently there are 23 rivers in flood simultaneously which is rare.
The impact is already being felt down here though in higher food prices as crop harvests are impacted or unable to be shipped out even if already harvested.
Even air transport is being badly impacted with the main runway at Rockhampton closed:
