‘True Australian spirit’: Man caught swimming in Qld floods

A Queensland resident has been caught swimming in his front yard during flood waters. Footage has emerged of a surprisingly calm man wading in waist-deep flood waters during the severe flooding in far north Queensland. Hobart City Councillor Louise Elliot has called the person “down to Earth”. “We need more of that,” she told Sky News contributor Steve Price. “That’s the true Australian spirit there.”
