Clermont is flooded-in a big way. Properties are flooded in and needing airlifts of food etc. Helicopters are doing runs with graziers to cut fences to let stock through to dry ground. Alinya (which was my grandparents property) has knee deep water through the house- and they have no way out. Sam & Ross are fine though Ross's sorghum paddock looks like a river. Matt & Floss had water right through their paddock and under the house, but it's receding now.
The old Alinya homestead was close to the Belyando River so it flooded often and Grandma Thomas would just keep cooking on the wood stove - wading about in the flood waters.
These photos are from friends of Sam & Ross:
This one is Glenmore (Sam & Ross's place). Their house is the smaller of the two homesteads.
