Farmer is killed in flooding in Queensland as super storm batters swathes of Australia, leaving thousands of homes at risk
A farmer has been killed in flooding in Queensland as a super storm threatens homes across the state’s south east.
The 69-year-old was moving cattle to higher ground on a property at Killarney, on the Southern Downs, when the flooding of the Condamine River swept him away at about 8pm Wednesday.
Emergency services found the man’s body inside his car about 100 metres downstream after midnight.
Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said it was a tragedy.
‘It’s sad that we’ve been in drought for so long and we get some rain and this happens,’ he said.
More to come.
