Large areas of Queensland, Australia are experiencing the worst flooding in more than five decades, raising concerns about significant livestock losses.
Floodwaters, covering an area twice the size of Victoria, have submerged parts of the state's interior. Local broadcaster SBS News said on Wednesday that residents were warned of possible flooding due to the remnants of former Tropical Cyclone Dianne, which could bring further rain.
Water levels have begun to fall in many regions, giving signs that the worst phase may be over.
In the town of Thargomindah, more than 200 people were moved to higher ground after floodwaters reached 7.5 meters (24.6 feet) on Tuesday, surpassing the 1974 record.
Helicopter crews have distributed food and rescued livestock, in addition to carrying out evacuations in areas hit by widespread flooding.
Heavy rain is forecast for southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, with some areas expecting more than 100 millimetres (3.9 inches).
Officials say the extent of the flooding could leave some communities cut off for six to 10 weeks.
Flood warnings remained in effect throughout the region.
