Australia's flood-stricken northeast is bracing for more devastation. <br /><br />After a week of unusually heavy rain, a vast inland sea has now formed across several river systems and is slowly making its way downstream to the Pacific Ocean. <br /><br />Standing between it and the coast is the city of Rockhampton. <br /><br />Rockhampton may be an virtual island-city now, surrounded by water. But just a few hundred metres from the water's edge, it's like any other Australian city, life goes on as normal. <br /><br />Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reports from Rockhampton, Australia.
