Official list flood dead released

Queensland Police have released the names of those killed since the 10th January.

16 people have died as a result of the floods in south east Queensland, however there are still around 28 people missing.

"The devastation of the disaster that has struck is no more apparent than when it claims a life,"
the Queensland Police Service said late last evening when releasing the names of those killed. "The thorough search for people missing from the Lockyer Valley is ongoing, but will take some time given the scale of the area."

Last night's Taipans game in Cairns raised $28,600 for the flood appeal.
