Brisbane and south-east Queensland's weekend of wild weather and flooding, in pictures

ABC  

About a week ago, the weather bureau issued a warning: heavy rain would bring flash flooding to parts of Queensland and NSW. In the days that followed parts of south-east Queensland received "scary" amounts of rain, dams from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast hit capacity, and the region braced for major flooding. The Brisbane River's levels receded slightly after the peak on Monday morning, but there was little reprieve for areas affected by flooding. A severe weather warning remains in place for heavy rain and high winds along the NSW coast, which could cause more damage and flooding.
