Historic flooding in Australia’s northwest Queensland has peaked but is likely to continue over coming days as emergency services prepare for recovery efforts after nearly 100 residents were evacuated.
Major flood alerts remain active in Burketown, about 2,000 kilometres northwest of Brisbane, after water levels at the Albert River exceeded seven metres on Sunday, surpassing the 2011 record of 6.78 metres.
