Eleven campers at the Canungra campsite have become stranded by Scenic Rim creeks due to the ongoing heavy rainfall in south-east Queensland, with fresh food and water being delivered by helicopter.
The campers crossed several creeks to arrive at their high ground camping spot, not anticipating the drastic amount of rain that caused the creeks to become flooded and impossible to cross safely.
The food was delivered by the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter, which is typically used in surf lifesaving operations, but was able to safely deliver needed supplies to the campers by air. .
