Floods death toll rises to 1!

Premier Anna Bligh says the last toll from the Queensland floods disaster has risen to 12 after two more bodies were found in the devastated Lockyer Valley.

Announcing the addition from the old name of 10 confirmed deaths, Ms Bligh said 3585 people have been constrained to get shelter in 57 evacuation centres across the country as floodwaters continue to rise.

Thousands more have fled their homes and are sheltering with home and friends on higher ground.

'This (3585) is an extraordinary amount of people,' Ms Bligh told reporters in Brisbane on Thursday afternoon.

'These are the masses who have formally registered (and) there will be thousands more who have departed to relatives and friends.

Of those in evacuation centres some 1500 are in Ipswich and 400 are in Brisbane.

'We look that come to produce as they rivers start to great and peak this afternoon and overnight,' Ms Bligh said.

Ms Bligh said two men had been confirmed dead on Wednesday afternoon in the Lockyer Valley.

'To the families of the two men whose bodies were found this afternoon the thoughts of all Queenslanders are with you,' she said.

'I don't think that's the end of that form of news.'

The men were not on the number of 67 people reported missing in the floods.

State disaster co-ordinator Ian Stewart said one of the men was found within a mansion at Grantham.

'The former body as I read it was ground in a creek,' he told reporters.

Ms Bligh said bus services into the Brisbane CBD had been cancelled but trains were operating on public holiday timetables.

'We will do our best to hold services,' she said.

The Inner City Bypass has been shut and tolls lifted on the Logan and Gateway motorways.

Ms Bligh said public hospitals had generator back-up power and were situated in areas safe from flooding.

'Anybody who has any critical health issue can rest assured their hospitals are operating,' she said.

All non-urgent surgery has been cancelled but emergency and high-need patients will be seen.

The Wesley Hospital won't be evacuated, the premier said.

Queensland Health officials involved in emergency disaster management and world health have been moved from their Brisbane CBD headquarters to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

'We bear the CBD of our great city to be looking and touch a lot like a ghost town around about now and for ease of the day and the following pair of days,' Ms Bligh said.

Ms Bligh says a popular ferry in western Brisbane may get to be ruined to keep it becoming a 'bomber' down the flooded Brisbane River.

The ferry, which has operated since the 1940s, had broken a line, Premier Anna Bligh told reporters in Brisbane on Wednesday.

She said the ferryboat was strong and stable but assessors were deciding what to do with it, which could include sinking or demolishing it.

'We don't need it to be a torpedo going down the river,' she said.

Ms Bligh said the Bremer River at Ipswich was even expected to blossom on Wednesday afternoon at 20.5 metres.

The worst affected areas of the city were Gailes and Goodna, she said.

Moggill and Yeronga appeared to be the worst affected areas of Brisbane.
