A baby born during a six-day rain storm in North Queensland that isolated her first-time mother from the nearest hospital has finally made her way to the maternity ward.
Hayley Anne Gajda came a week earlier than her due date, and was born on Tuesday morning in a heartwarming display of community strength and resourcefulness.
An ambulance was able to get through the hazardous Eungella Range, 92 kilometres west of Mackay, for the first time Thursday afternoon to take baby Hayley and her mother Angel McKay to hospital.
