Parts of Queensland's main highway are under water and there are fears the unpredictable and relentless weather conditions are here to stay.
Another 100-150mm of rain fell overnight in some northern parts of the state following days of torrential rain, damaging winds and flash flooding.
A spokesman for the Bureau of Meteorology said heavy rainfall is forecast for Thursday particularly around Mackay, around Townsville.
