But Dr Brown's favourite entry in the herbarium is the zombie fungus, a type of Cordyceps, which uses the bodies of insects as a base for its own growth. That hasty decision to pull over and take a sample led to the description of a new genus of plants for Queensland by Dr Brown. "I've described one species and last year I described a new genus of plants for Queensland," she said. Always alert for new species, Dr Brown was on the way to a Midnight Oil concert near Tambo in outback Queensland when she spied a unique plant on the side of the road. "If they get in there and eat the whole plant collection we can't go back in space and time and collect it again," Dr Brown said. "We really document and describe plants at a certain time and place, and we're finding new species all the time," Dr Brown said.

Major flooding hits towns, airport in northwest Queensland (The New Daily)

Remote and Indigenous communities and an airport are facing record flooding after heavy rainfall in Queensland's Gulf Country.

“There are also serious issues with livestock and fuel supplies. Soils are saturated, meaning further rainfall will quickly impact river levels,” the BoM warns. “I’ve spoken with the mayors of Burke, Doomadgee and Carpentaria,” Mr Crisafulli said in a statement. “Please take care when you are moving around the community close to the floodwaters, and stay out of the water where possible to limit a chance encounter with a crocodile.” “There have been a number of evacuations in the shire to date,” Councillor Camp said. “Daily rainfall totals of 50mm to 100mm are likely, with isolated rainfall totals of 100mm to 200mm possible.
