The people of Yorkshire were not the only ones affected by floods this week.

A group of tourists in Queensland, Australia became stranded after flooding at a national park.

The six were cut off after a period of heavy rain but are not thought to be in any immediate danger.

Australia is an increasingly popular tourist destination. This incident should serve as a warning to people planning a trip that freak weather can be incredibly disruptive.

Getting adequate travel insurance should be an essential part of planning any trip.
