POLICE are investigating the death of a Ballarat man whose body was found in a flooded creek in central Queensland. The death toll from the floods is believed to have reached 10 after police divers recovered the man's body from Cornish Creek on Wednesday.The man was reported missing about 11.30pm on Sunday after the car he was travelling in was swept from the Torrens Creek Road near Aramac.The man is believed to have been 62 years old.Two other men, aged 19 and 40, were in the car but managed to escape the flood waters. They were taken to the Barcaldine Hospital but their condition was not known at the time of writing. A Queensland police spokesman said an investigation into the man's death was under way.Prairie farmer Neil Wicks was driving to his property from Longreach about midday on January 3 when he stopped to assist a paramedic. His son drove an ambulance to a nearby hospital while the paramedic treated two men. Mr Wicks said he believed the men had been travelling with the Ballarat man and got into trouble in the creek. "They said they tried to pull him from the car," he said.After losing the car in the Cornish Creek, the men are thought to have tried to walk in search of help.“I knew they weren’t locals,” he said. “They were both pretty knocked about.”Barcaldine Regional Council mayor Rob Chandler said the creek had not flooded into Aramac but roads had been badly damaged by the flood waters.He urged travellers to check on the conditions of roads before deciding to drive through flood- affected communities.“If they’re travelling and they want to know what the roads are like, ring the police in each of the communities they’re travelling through,” he said.Yesterday, 20 Victoria State Emergency Service volunteers and three staff flew to Queensland to help in the flood recovery and clean-up. Two volunteers from Hepburn and one from Bacchus Marsh were among the SES taskforce.“Working conditions will be challenging given the mud, flood water and high humidity but VICSES volunteers are used to tough conditions and hard work and will be repaying their Queensland colleagues for the support Queensland has provided to Victoria during similar events,” Police and Emergency Services Minister Peter Ryan said.
