A rescue boat passes a 'Welcome to Rockhampton' sign on the flooded Bruce Highway after the Fitzroy River broke its banks and inundated much of Rockhampton on January 4, 2011.

A "welcome to Rockhampton" sign is seen partially submerged in floodwaters in Rockhampton, Queensland, January 4, 2011. Floodwaters eased in Australia's major coal mining region on Tuesday, allowing some mines to slowly resume production although most remained idle, as devastating floods affect some 200,000 people and force towns to be evacuated.
