Australian military supplies flood victims

Australian military aircraft are ferrying more supplies to a flood-hit city in Queensland as river levels continue to rise.



The Fitzroy River at Rockhampton is due to peak early tomorrow.



As a result hundreds of homes have been evacuated.



Floods across Queensland have closed roads and airports, devastated industries and claimed at least three lives.



Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has described the situation as a major natural disaster and has said recovery would take a significant amount of time.
