What is amazing is that Toowoomba is right on the crest of the Great
Dividing
Range at about 2000 feet above sea level. I think it is just on the east
side
of the E/W watershed. There's no river of any significance there and I
would
have thought that it is a most unlikely place to experience a significant
flood. The flood must have resulted from a huge rainfall total in a very
short
period of time.

At the end of the video when the flood had subsided you could see
that the river was indeed rather insignificant.
It looked much like a Boscastle style flash-flood with cars being swept
away rather than huge areas of innundation, as appears to being
experienced elsewhere in the area.
