NASA image acquired January 9, 2011 To see a detail of this image go here: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/5348891247">www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/5348891247</a> The airport, Bruce Highway, and large swaths of Rockhampton remained underwater on January 9, 2011. Days of rain pushed the Fitzroy River over its banks, inundating parts of the city near the Queensland coast. Damage to Bruce Highway was not confined to Rockhampton; on January 11, 2011, ABC News Australia reported that other parts of the highway, in southeastern Queensland, were expected to remain underwater for some time. In this image, acquired by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite on January 9, 2011, isolated islands of cityscape poke through murky brown flood waters. The Fitzroy River cuts through the upper right quadrant of the image, and just west of the river, relatively high land remains above the flood. All around that area, flood water predominates, including areas east of the river. Rockhampton was just one of many Australian communities reeling from floods, according to news reports. Farmers along the Sunshine Coast were stranded by high waters that washed out roads. Authorities in Brisbane, Australia’s third-largest city, told residents to evacuate in anticipation of the worst flooding in several decades.
