The police said on Saturday that they had discovered a body looking for a 61-year-old man who disappeared on Friday after his car was caught in flood waters in Dorrigo, northern New South Wales.

In a separate incident on Saturday, 12 soldiers were injured in a convoy accident in Lismore, about 200 km south of Brisbane, while they were on the way for rescue and recovery efforts.
The soldiers were still in the hospital on Sunday, including two in serious condition, said Southern Southern Prime Minister Chris Minns at a press conference.
“We want rapid recovery for all these young soldiers,” he said.
