Tasmania hit

Worst flood in

years

LAUNCESTON, Thurs-day: Tasmania's north-east has been hit by its worst floods for 30 years.

After torrential rain and fierce winds in most north-eastern districts on Monday and Tuesday rivers overflowed their banks cutting both rail and road communica-tions.

Districts hardest hit by

flood waters are Camp-bell Town and Fingal.

The Melbourne Weather Bureau last night issued floor warnings for the Gippsland and Eastern districts.
