Raging floods bear down on Brisbane

The Brisbane River has broken its banks amid dire predictions of the biggest floods to hit Queensland's capital since 1974. The weather bureau says the river is expected to reach major flood levels tomorrow afternoon and rise further on Thursday. Water is also rising quickly in the Bremer River at Ipswich, west of Brisbane, where it is expected to peak close to 19 metres.
