Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods devastate communities

A Victorian bushfire at Longwood, ignited by sparks from a trailer, has claimed the life of cattle farmer Max Hobson and destroyed over 350 homes and businesses across the state. Ex-tropical cyclone Koji has brought severe flooding to Queensland's southeast, cutting off Yungela, forcing evacuations in Claremont, and inundating at least 20 homes. Multiple fires continue to burn out of control in Victoria while thunderstorms are forecast for Queensland's Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
