Recovery process begins for flood-affected Queensland communities | 9 News Australia

Flash flooding in Queensland has reached the Sunshine Coast, with stormwaters submerging cars as the hinterland gets smashed with rain. Out west, one million head of cattle are feared lost to the rising deluge as farmers now begin a long recovery process. 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. Speaking yesterday in Brisbane, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that funding had been made available for local governments. $2.5 million dollars in state and federal funding has also been allocated to drop in fodder for cattle that are impacted by these flooding events. "We will make whatever resources available, including the ADF, its possible that they might assist in some of the drops," Albanese said. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of more rainfall across the state. There are numerous flood warnings for rivers including the Thomson River, the Paroo River, and the Warrego River basin. | Subscribe and 🔔: http://9Soci.al/KM6e50GjSK9 | Get more breaking news at 9News.com.au: http://9Soci.al/iyCO50GjSK6 FOLLOW 9News Australia ► Facebook:   / 9news   ► Twitter:   / 9newsaus   ► Instagram:   / 9news   Join 9News for the latest in news and events that affect you in your local city, as well as news from across Australia and the world. #9News #BreakingNews #NineNewsAustralia #9NewsAUS
