On this March 7th in Sydney, here's what is making headlines. A tropical low number 29 U crossed the Queensland coast near Innisfail on Friday afternoon, dumping heavy rain across large parts of the dust, state as it moves south. Southeast Queensland faces the biggest totals today, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning of flash and river flooding risks from sustained downpours. Sunday looks set to bring the heaviest rain yet, especially around Brisbane, the Golden Sunshine Coast, Wide Bay Burnett, and Darling Downs areas. Rescue teams save 32 people from a bus stuck in floodwaters between Miriam Vale and Agnes Water yesterday, with no injuries reported. The state emergency service handled over 40 calls since Saturday, mostly for flooding and structural damage in Fraser Coast and Gladstone regions. Roads remain cut statewide, including the Dane Tree Ferry out for at least a week after river level surged. Officials urge drivers to avoid floodwaters, while forecasters expect rain to ease by midweek.
