GLENREAGH residents enjoyed a street-level waterfall this week as floodwaters eroded a section of road, before completely destroying it. In an example of the awesome power of floods, and their inherent danger, Shipman Road has been cut in half following moderate flooding of the Orara River which occurred in Glenreagh this week. Footage taken by local resident Kath Armstrong Gray around 11am on Tuesday shows water cascading across the road, partially eroding the lower section of bitumen. Ms Armstrong Gray posted the footage on social media with a warning to fellow residents to avoid driving over it. Shipmans Rd, Glenreagh begins its farewell tour. Photo: Kath Armstrong Gray

The farmer who was killed while moving his cattle to safety through rising flood waters has been remembered as the heart and head of the family by his heartbroken wife.
Paul Stephenson, 69, was swept away from a surge of water from the Condamine River while moving his cattle to higher ground on a property at Killarney, on the Southern Downs in Queensland about 8pm Wednesday.
As more than 180mm of rain fell in just an hour, Mr Stephenson struggled during the vicious weather but unfortunately did not survive.
