Floods, landslides hit Tasmania
Wild weather and huge downpours continue to flood three major valleys in Tasmania, triggering car crashes, fires and a dangerous landslide.
The number of roads underwater continue to climb as emergency crews work around the clock to save homes from flooding.
Tasmania Police media spokesman Sgt Pat Lee said the floodwaters had threatened the Derwent Valley, where seven key roads, including the Lyell Highway, had been severely hit.
While townships are yet to report significant water damage to homes, Sgt Lee said emergency crews were setting up shelters for residents.

Police say a major rockfall on the Murchison Highway in Tasmania’s north-west could take up to three days to clear. Thousands of tonnes of rubble have fallen onto the highway, two kilometres south of Rosebery.
