Rescuers are searching for dozens of missing people after the latest wave of flooding in Australia.

A flash flood has killed at least nine people - now the capital of Queensland state - a city of two million people - is on alert after the river running through it, broke its banks.

But the worst devastation is in the smaller city of Toowoomba, just west of Brisbane, where 66 people are missing.
