Key points: Central Queensland's Cobraball blaze so far caused $20m damage to farms More than 20 homes destroyed in Queensland Insurers have received about 100 claims in a day The Insurance Council of Australia said insurers had handled 1,340 bushfire-related claims so far for the November disasters. "This is for the entire November bush fire area, which stretches from the New South Wales mid north coast into the Gold Coast in Queensland and also the Yeppoon region," spokesman Campbell Fuller said. Central Qld agricultural damage worst in recent history The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries said a central Queensland blaze at Cobraball had the biggest impact on agriculture in recent history. "At a government level, making sure that there's money quickly back in an economy — there's a quick process to get rebuilding — really helps to make sure that rebound effect is positive."
