Floods in Queensland.
Part of Ipswich is under water, and Goodna and other places in the valley of the Brisbane River are more or less submerged. At Gympie the riverside cultivations have been swept away. Disastrous floods have occurred at Maryborough and Bundaberg, and the damage is estimated at many thousands of pounds. The principal victims are the unfortunate farmers who suffered by the February floods. A man named Howell was drowned in rescuing a black boy. A line re pairer also perished near Maryi borough. A considerable portion of South Brisbane is under water. The river is now receding. The Columbia was the only mine flooded at Gympie.
