AUSTRALIA (CNN) -- Flooding continues to be a major problem in parts of Australia. 

You can see in the video just how hard the waters are raging in Brisbane, Queensland.

There have been a number of water rescues over the last few days.

The Brisbane Times reports three people dead as a result of the flooding; two others are missing.

The flooding started with former tropical cyclone Oswald.

The flooding has also prompted some 500 people to evacuate their homes in New South Wales.
