SYDNEY: Huge downpours unleashed decades-high floods in eastern Australia on Saturday , killing two people overnight as the rising waters inundated homes and roads, and swept away cars.

"In some parts of southeast Queensland, this is the biggest event that they will see in a number of decades," warned the state's police and emergency services minister, Mark Ryan.Images broadcast on Australian media showed homes surrounded by water, roads cut off, areas of land transformed into lakes, and a large chunk of a concrete pier floating down a fast-running river.

"The vehicle in which they were travelling was swept off the road into floodwaters. Three of our members were rescued. One of those members is deceased," Gollschewski told a news conference. More than 250 people were in evacuation centres as of Saturday morning, with more than 7,700 power outages in the area.
