More than 100 homes in western Queensland have been flooded and dozens of people airlifted to safety. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned that river levels are likely to exceed flooding in 1974. The red dirt town of Jundah, about 1300 kilometres from Brisbane with a population of just over 100 people, is a fresh epicentre for the emergency. There are fears the floodwaters could wipe the town off the map. “We have a community without power, without sewerage and we’ve got several evacuations where people have gone to higher ground at the golf course,” Crisafulli said. Fears remain for hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep who have become trapped in floodwaters.
