Police in Australia rescued an injured 65-year-old man from his houseboat that was taking on water in the Albert River Monday morning while another man said to be in his 70s was able to escape uninjured after his houseboat was swept away by currents in the Brisbane River on Sunday and collided with a ferry terminal.
The houseboat rescue took place near the city of Eagleby around 9:40 in the morning of Feb. 28 as deadly floods continue to ravage parts of southeast Australia.
