SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia’s largest fertilizer maker and its biggest listed cattle farmer this week warned investors of sizeable losses stemming from floods that engulfed parts of Queensland state, as receding water began to reveal the scale of damage.

Flooding rain raked the Queensland coast at Townsville last week, before sweeping inland and submerging vast tracts of outback under record-breaking depths of muddy water.

The warnings from fertilizer producer Incitec Pivot Ltd, hit by the closure of a railway, and Australian Agricultural Company Ltd are the clearest signs yet of the economic impact from the flooding, dragging sharply on shares in the companies.

It must be Climate Change... where hot is cold... and dry is wet... drought is 3yrs of rain in one week...

Proves the world is crazy... if nothing else... Thx Mallee.. where down under... is on top of the world... NO??? Cheers
