Tasmanians take stock of damage after record flooding
Derwent Valley residents say the water rose at a frightening pace in the biggest flood since Meadowbank dam was built.
Record flooding has swamped Tasmania, inundating roads and properties, resulting in many residents of towns surrounding the Derwent River near Meadowbank and Macquarie Plains evacuating.

Myth, politics and murder: why the voice battle in Tasmania is different
A bloody colonial past and Liberal support for a yes vote inform the debate in the only state where the campaign in favour has recently remained ahead.
The battle over the Indigenous voice to parliament looks different in Tasmania than anywhere else in Australia. For one thing, the polls show the yes campaign still in the lead - the only state where that has been the case for the past month and more. Perhaps not coincidentally, it is also the only state where none of the main representatives of the political parties are backing no - from the premier, Jeremy Rockliff, and the prominent Liberal MP Bridget Archer through to Labor, the Greens and the two senators from the Jacqui Lambie Network.
And then there is the persistent myth that haunts Tasmanian Aboriginal people - that they no longer exist.

World's Rarest Birds Captured On Camera
These remarkable pictures reveal some of the world's rarest birds - which have only ever been photographed by a handful of people.
The unique shots were captured by patient photographers who travelled to some of the remotest places on the planet and spent weeks behind the lens.
They are all winning entries in an international competition to secure images of the 566 most threatened birds on Earth.
They are to be featured in a new book, The World's Rarest Birds, which aims to highlight the plight of these endangered birds.
"These are all incredibly rare birds and capturing them on camera shows a huge commitment by each photographer," said Andy Swash, a member of the World's Rarest Project team.
"You can't just go out into your back garden and get these shots. These birds live in really remote locations.
"Once you have got there you often have to spend hours waiting to see these and getting any image, let alone the one you want, could take weeks or months."
One of the most spectacular images shows a Kakapo, a flightless parrot from New Zealand, taken by photographer Shane McInnes.
There are just 124 of these birds remaining in the wild, but amazingly this picture was snapped on a compact camera just a metre or so away from the parrot.
"Very few people have been fortunate to get that close to a Kakapo. But they are not used to predators and are not worried by humans so Shane has ended up was able to take this fantastic shot," added Andy.
Another image shows a Brazilian Merganser with its eight young ducklings, which can only be found on fast-flowing rivers in central Brazil and north-eastern Argentina.
The population is less than 250 and decreasing due to pollution and changes in water flow.
