Parts of Central Queensland, the Outback, Southern Downs and Granite Belt, Toowoomba and Darling Downs, Western Downs, South Burnett, and the Lockyer Valley are currently affected by flooding, and access is restricted in these areas.
Most tourism businesses in Bundaberg, Gladstone, Agnes Water and 1770, including Mon Repos Turtle Experience, Bargara beaches, Lady Elliot Island and Lady Musgrave Island, are now open and returning to normal business operation. There may however be some limited local road access; this is according to the latest update on the flooding in Queensland issued at 4.30pm on January 11th (Australian time) and as reported in PATAs UK Chapter newsletter.
Due to localised flooding, some tourism operations in Brisbane are currently closed. With the exception of Rockhampton Airport, all Queensland airports are currently open. For the latest please visit the Queensland Government s official Queensland floods webpage: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/
