00:02Hundreds of kilometres from the ocean, but still waking to water views.
00:07The coast has come right to us today, like the wind blowing here today, you can see the waves on
00:12the river, it's just amazing.
00:14The Lansborough Highway at Longreach seemingly floating on water.
00:18I've never seen a flood like this, it's an enormous flood on a beautiful sunny day.
00:24It's incomprehensible.
00:25Like seriously unfathomable, we were here yesterday and it was maybe like 150 metres down the road, so this is
00:33just wild.
00:35The full scale, on show from the sky.
00:38But those without a plane got a little more creative.
00:42After days of waiting, flood water finally reached backyards on the edge of town.
00:48It is approaching some of the lower set houses, but at this stage we don't think that there will be
00:53many,
00:54if any, houses that will get water over the floorboards.
00:57A lack of flood gauges, again, causing distress in outback Queensland.
01:03In 2026, the fact that we're relying on a manual read, gauges that are not connected,
01:09it's just not acceptable for the safety of any community.
01:11This has been water that's been in the system and coming for a long time,
01:15and because of a lack of gauges in many parts, they have been flying blind.
01:21Emergency services on standby.
01:23Not as busy as anticipated.
01:26This water is now making its way to small communities in the Channel Country
01:31and will eventually end up in Kaditunda Lake Eyre.
01:34Authorities are now shifting their focus to the towns of Stonehenge, Junda and Windora.
01:39Then let's go with our這個是 control to the area.
01:41The cross pozos never joined us and down passing on nets,
01:41but we don't have to encourage us.
01:41Let's say they have to be挑ermas and at the same time.
