    The southern areas of Australia are still seeing flood water rising and taking away the thousands of acres filled with crops.

    There have been at least 21 people that have lost their lives and many more have no homes to return to.

    The economy from the Queensland area across to Victoria located in the south is going to be affected.

    Ted Baillieu, the Victoria State Premier, has told of a $7 million dollar fund set up to help out all who has been affected by the rising waters.

    People are still being told to leave their homes in Kerang as a levee that has protected the area was breaking down in spots.

    An alert issued told residents to leave their homes right away.

    Even though the rain was said to be slowing down in Victoria, there was still a threat for flooding in areas.

    There are people staying in temporary shelters that have no idea when they will be ale to return home and if they even have a home to return to.
