North Qld mops up as floods and rain ease

People in north Queensland are mopping up after five days of torrential downpours triggered floods across the region as the severe weather threat moves north.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the Atherton Tablelands towns of Mareeba, Atherton, Gordonvale, Ravenshoe, Babinda and Mount Garnet in coming hours.

However, forecasters expect no further significant rainfall or flooding in the Mackay region where daily rainfall totals have topped 200mm in multiple places since Friday.
