Flooding in Australia is always an issue. In the latest floods (December 2010 - January 2011), the floods became an issue when the floods affected 75% of the area of Queensland; when Toowoomba, a city sitting at the top of the Great Dividing Range, experienced a deadly flash flood (Toowoomba does not flood); when a torrent of water rushed down the range, swamping the towns in the valley below and killing at least a dozen; when over 70 people were missing; when the "inland tsunami" rushed towards Wivenhoe Dam, overfilling it to higher than 190% and threatening a disaster on an even more massive scale; when cities like Rockhampton sat in flooded waters for over three weeks; when the flooding moved into New South Wales and even Victoria and South Australia, affecting the entire eastern half of the continent.
