I picked the following up from the aussie.weather list

----------------
In the hour 7 to 8am EST, the heavy rainband running SSW along itself and SSW
from Mt Glorious gave 57mm at Mt Glorious, 85 at Savages Crossing (near
Ferndale, just downstream of Wivenhoe Dam), 66 at Marburg (where the old radar
is) and 54 at Tallegalla - all in a straight line NNE to SSW from Mt Glorious.
Rain in that line, which contains several embedded thunderstorms, extends from
Maroochydore to Warwick, and because it is running along itself will continue
to produce heavy totals. Mt Glorious Alert has had 191mm in the 23 hours to 8am
on top of 203mm to 9am yesterday.
----------------

The various sites referred to are in the hills just inland from Brisbane.
Hardly suprising that there is now serious flooding. It puts the "heavy" rain
episodes in this country into perspective.
