Floodwaters in the Australian city of Rockhampton are rising faster than expected, Queensland authorities say.

The city has already been badly hit, with many people being forced to flee.

More than 20 towns have already been cut off or flooded across an area larger than France and Germany, with more than 200,000 people affected.

There are fears that damage from the floods could
cost billions of Australian dollars to repair.

Interestingly, most Australians don't refer to Australia as "The Land Down Under"

Probably because most of the rest of the world's "Up Top", but oh well.
