Wild weather has left at least 10 people dead in the eastern Australian states of Queensland and Victoria. Three men, aged 48, 59 and 69, were killed after a boat with 11 people on board capsized in rough weather in Moreton Bay off the south Queensland coast on Tuesday, police said. Ambulances took eight survivors to a hospital in stable conditions.
The men were aboard the 39-foot pleasure craft on an annual fishing trip, as per reports. Authorities said those rescued were lucky to survive. Elsewhere, a 59-year-old woman was killed by a falling tree in the Queensland city of Gold Coast on Monday night. The body of a 9-year-old girl was found on Tuesday in the neighboring city of Brisbane hours after she disappeared in a flooded stormwater drain.
