Many residents in outback Queensland have been forced to evacuate their homes and leave stock to fend for themselves. Rainfall of up to 600 millimetres, nearly double the yearly average annual rainfall has caused flooding never experienced before. 🎬 by Sarah Richards #ABCNewsQld #ABCNews #Weather #Outback #Queensland #Australia #Flood #Rain #QldWeather #Flooding | ABC Brisbane
