Flooding continues to be a major problem for Queensland, Australia.

Four people have been killed by the raging waters.

Flash flooding struck many areas, but hardest hit was Bundaberg.

The Burnett River rapildy flooded it's banks, on Tuesday, causing around one thousand people to have to be rescued by helicopter.

New South Wales is also seeing flooding, after up to two feet of rain fell.

Evacuations were ordered in both states, as the government tries to keep as many people as possible out of harm's way.

Rains are expected to last through Wednesday, as the storm slowly moves out to sea.
