Australian flooding claims 11th life: woman dies in Aboriginal community of Cherbourg

Brief piece of sad news in yesterday’s The Australian:

The natural disaster claimed another victim yesterday when a young woman drowned in a flooded creek at the Cherbourg Aboriginal community, inland from Gympie. The woman, in her 20s, was the 11th person to die as a result of the state’s floods in the past fortnight.

Will post more if/when I hear it, including confirmation or denial as to whether the woman was indeed Aboriginal.
