Emily Seebohm has continued her red-hot 2015 form, recording the fastest-ever 100m backstroke time in Australia at the Queensland swimming championships.
Seebohm added another state title to the 17 gold medals she won in this year's FINA World Cup with another victory in Monday night's final in Brisbane, her time of 58.70sec setting a new Australian all-comers record.
The 23-year-old will return to the water at the Sleeman Aquatic Centre on Tuesday for the 200m backstroke as favourite to cap off a stunning year.
She also won the 100m and 200m backstroke titles at this year's world championships in Russia before clean-sweeping the Australian short-course backstroke events in Sydney last month.
Fellow backstroker Mitch Larkin was also at his dominant best on Monday night.
The 22-year-old won the 100m final by more than 2.8 seconds from Robert Gerlach and Jack Selman.
Meanwhile, Cate Campbell took out the 100m freestyle title in a final that was missing Cate's world-champion sister Bronte, who is currently out with a hip injury.
The older Campbell beat out Emma McKeon by just over a second, after McKeon had dominated the 200m event on Sunday night.
McKeon's brother David was instead the toast of the family, claiming gold in the 400m freestyle final by more than a second from Jack McLoughlin.
Other gold medallists for the night included Cameron McEvoy and Jessica Ashwood in the 100m men's freestyle and 400m women's freestyle respectively, while Thomas Hauck and Georgia Bohl won the 100m breaststroke finals.
