Queensland Floods 2013
SIgnificant work of rescue helicopters in Queensland being reported.

One report of 1000 (??) people airlifted across a river at Bundeberg another of a crew returning to base saw a person waving his arms so he did an orbit and 98 people came out of the woodwork, resulting in 15 chopers being cordinated to rescue them before last light.

Much better government and interagency co-ordination apparently due to experience gained in the last few years of cyclones and floods.

God work
