Flood in Brisbane

I was looking for Diet pills available in Australia because I heard diet pills  available there are affordable and effective. Then I read the news about Brisbane flooding.

The Australian city of Brisbane has experienced widespread flooding, although the peak level is a metre lower than feared, officials say.


The Brisbane River peaked at 4.46m (14.6ft) just before 0530 (1930GMT Wednesday), compared with 5.4m (17.7ft) in the 1974 floods.

However, dozens of suburbs and thousands of properties are inundated.

The death toll in Queensland's flooding went up to 15, with dozens more reported missing.

Many supermarkets in the city have been stripped of supplies, while a number of rubbish collections and bus services have halted.

More than 100,000 properties had their power cut as a precaution against flooding of electricity substations.

West of Brisbane in the city of Ipswich, the Bremer river peaked at 19.4m on Wednesday, the Bureau of Meteorology reported.

About 1,000 homes were inundated and 7,500 more affected, the Queensland Times reported.

More than 1,000 people are in evacuation centres there.
