Preceding the record cold came fierce storms that ripped through parts of the state’s southeast.
The Queensland government is busy working to determine how much assistance is needed for homes and farms in the area.
The damage bill from Thursday’s storms is still being assessed but is expected to be hefty, with crops wiped out, animals killed and roofs torn from homes.
The mud army has arrived to help clean up after severe storms left a trail of destruction stretching more than 300kms. @SimoLove @PaulBurt07 @ChloeAmandaB #qldweather #7News pic.twitter.com/mczgsGbdjq
