Downpour sparks Airlie Beach landslide
Published: 10:46:59 AM, Tue 05 March 2013 UTC
Heavy rain has caused a landslide near Airlie Beach, north of Mackay, in north Queensland.
The slip occurred just before 11:30pm (AEST) last night, covering one lane of Shute Harbour Road.
The road was closed for several hours before Whitsunday Regional Council workers were able to clear the debris.
No-one was hurt.
