Almost one week on from Cyclone Debbie, the flood crisis in two states continues.


Five people are now confirmed dead, with another three missing in a submerged car.

 

As the clean-up begins in northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, focus is shifting to the central Queensland city of Rockhampton.

 

It is preparing for a huge flood peak in the coming days.
