The slow-moving system swept across the Central Highlands and Coalfield regions on Monday, January 12. Wind gusts reached 113 km/h on Hamilton Island. Early estimates suggest that more than 48,000 livestock have perished in the floods, which continue to inundate vast areas of Queensland—stretching from the coast at Mackay, 1,000 kilometres west to Cloncurry, and north to Townsville and Cairns.
