A FLOOD watch has been cancelled for parts of Ipswich following the easing of a severe weather system that was expected to dump up to 250mm across parts of the south east.
The Bureau of Meteorology first issued the watch notice on Sunday evening in response to a deepening low that developed off the Central Queensland coast.
As of 10am Monday, the low reportedly sat about 90 kilometres east off the coast of Fraser Island.
Authorities initially feared the system would bring life-threatening flash-flooding to the Wide Bay, Burnett and South East Coast across Monday.
They said intense rainfall was forecast to impact coastal catchments between Central Queensland and the New South Wales border, reaching west to Darling Downs.

January 2011, and the floods that changed everything

AS THE man in charge of a large rural area that usually celebrates every precious drop of rain, the catastrophic flood of 2011 was as bizarre a sight as anything Group Officer Dave Wandel can remember.
Mr Wandel was in charge of the Prenzlau Rural Fire Brigade when the floods hit in January of that year, and while he lived only a short distance away, there was so much water being dumped on the ground that road access to work was cut off.
In fact, of the 105 square-kilometre zone that the Prenzlau crews were responsible for, an astonishing 80 per cent was under water.
