Holli Brunckhorst’s rent is about to go up again. The 23-year-old nanny believes her budget can probably absorb another rise. Brunckhorst is quite certain, however, that her studio apartment in Windsor, above a six-lane highway that runs like a spine down the seat of Brisbane, is not worth what she will soon be paying for it.

The extent of flood waters that have engulfed Queensland over the past fortnight is so widespread it has covered an area more than four times the size of the United Kingdom. The inundation is larger than France and Germany combined – and is even bigger than Texas. The seemingly endless plains of outback Queensland are so vast and remote as to boggle any attempts to visualise the scale of what is being described as one of the most devastating floods in living memory.

Queensland’s premier has declared “day one” of a recovery that will take years as the state prepares to wake to clear skies that should reveal the vast scale of its outback floods.

Many are those rescued from Munga-Thirri-Simpson Desert – in what is normally the dust bowl of outback Queensland – who have sunk wheels in a sand dune, busted tyres upon gibber rock or even been bogged in the mud left by a sudden downpour. But Tony Woolford is among a far more exclusive club. In fact, the 66-year-old South Australian may well be the first person ever plucked by helicopter in this, one of the driest places on Earth, from flood waters.

Numerous rivers have flooded across Queensland after record rainfall lashed regions of an already sodden state, cutting off roads and communities. The Bureau of Meteorology issued a major flood warning for the Haughton River on Queensland’s north tropical coast on Thursday morning. Other warnings were current for the Paroo, Bulloo, Cooper, Barcoo, Thomson, Western, Diamantina and Georgina rivers.
