Lifeflight Rescue Helicopter said that crews were able to land the helicopter in a paddock about 500m away. From there, neighbours drove paramedics to the woman’s flooded home.
She was treated at the scene before being transported to Archerfield Airport and then via ambulance (QAS) to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
LifeFlight has been assisting with the response to ex Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
