The drought is breaking in North Queensland, but the flooding is extreme, with areas described as being like "a virtual sea".
One family was forced to travel more than 70km through crocodile infested waters with their two month old baby to get back home. And they did it in a tinnie :
Independent federal MP Bob Katter has told of the family's two-hour plight to get from Normanton to their home at Karumba in north Queensland.
"It was the only way they could get back," Mr Katter said.
"They went through 15km-wide raging floodwaters, with crocodiles, to get back."
