    Flooding in Ipswich Queensland

    By LynMark  |  Posted January 11, 2011  |  Ipswich, Australia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     LynMark says the high water has caused roads to be closed across the city of Ipswich in Queensland, Australia, isolating areas and leaving people stranded. He shot these images at about 5:30 p.m. on January 11.
    - dsashin, CNN iReport producer

    The Bremer River was at 13 metres with flood height measured under the bridge (third photo) and it could be seen slowly rising. The high water has closed many roads across the city of Ipswich, about 30km southwest of Brisbane Australia. These images were taken betweeen 4pm and 5pm.

     

    The fist 5 images were taken along the Bremer River in the city centre of Ipswich, the other are of roads along the river in the west of the city. The rain fell thoughout most of the day adding to the frustration caused by the road closures to people trying to get wherever theyre going.
