ABCThe search for a man missing in floodwaters in north Queensland after the boat he was on crashed into a jetty on Friday evening has continued. Key points: Two men managed to get to safety but the third hasn't been seen It's believed the jetty wasn't visible when the boat collided with it Assessors now say 1,700 Townsville properties have been damaged in the floods Police said Justin Scott, 35, was with two other men when they hit the jetty at Groper Creek, near Ayr, around 5:30pm. Queensland Rail said it still cannot access a train that toppled and spilled metals in floodwaters in the state's north-west. "So that's happening at the moment, there's already a lot done but we've got a list for the whole shire," she said. "People will see plenty of trucks out there today to assist people to hose out and assist in furniture removal but I must say the people of Townsville are very resilient and there's a lot of work being done with neighbours helping neighbours so its incredible to see," he said.
