Locals brave floodwaters to drink at pub in Far North Queensland

Floodwaters haven’t deterred Queensland locals from heading down to the pub with many taking their dinghies to the Euramo Hotel. The pub has become known as a ‘yacht club’ in recent days as Far North Queensland faces record flooding. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Meteorology is facing criticism for not accurately predicting the record deluge. Water is continuing to subside at Cairns Airport with operations set to resume later Tuesday. Authorities spent Monday clearing debris which was blocking infrastructure linked to the city's water supply as well as restoring power in towns such as Port Douglas and Mossman.
