Sunny weather returns to most of Queensland, but cool conditions to come
Queenslanders will enjoy a brief reprieve from rainy conditions before a cloud band moves in mid-week and brings wintry weather to most of the state. Senior meteorologist Shane Kennedy said cooler, clear conditions were expected from Monday, but would not last. A trough in the south-west corner of the state is forecast to reach the coast by Wednesday, bringing widespread cloud cover. "A couple of frosty mornings, then we will get a bit of a break on Wednesday and Thursday as the cloud comes over, then back to even cooler conditions later in the week behind that trough," Mr Kennedy said. Widespread rainfall between 10 and 30 millimetres was recorded between Emerald and the south-east corner over the weekend. Mr Kennedy said south-east Queensland residents could expect clearer, cooler days at the beginning of the week, with isolated minor river flooding around Warwick and Amberley expected to clear. "It will drop back down to average, or slightly below, over the next couple of mornings, as far north as Hughenden," he said. Temperatures in western Queensland would return to average, he said, following the cold snap over the weekend that saw temperatures plummet. Julia Creek and Richmond in western Queensland recorded their coldest July days in two years, reaching just 16 degrees Celsius on Saturday afternoon. "It was a strong enough system that it had that impact," Mr Kennedy said. Mr Kennedy said the next cold snap would arrive later this week, off the back of another cloud band originating in the south-west. "The next cooler snap should push a fair way into northern Queensland, at least to the base of the Cape York Peninsula on Friday and Saturday," he said. This would help to bring temperatures down to average in the state's north. "The next cold snap after that next trough should be more substantial," he said. "It potentially might make it up to Georgetown, and it may even help to drop temperatures around Cairns on Friday and Saturday."

Central Queensland man charged over alleged image of children bound with duct tape
A Central Queensland man has been charged after allegedly duct-taping two children, pointing a gun at them, and sending the image to multiple people. Detectives from Emerald Criminal Investigation Branch were investigating illegal weapons and illicit drugs on an Emerald property in May when they seized a mobile phone. Forensic testing on the phone revealed an alleged photograph of two children, both three years old, bound with duct tape and a gun being pointed at them. Police said the children were known to the man, but not related. Police allege the photograph was sent to several other people. Detectives were able to identify the children and make sure they were safe. A 44-year-old Emerald man, who police allege was pointing the gun in the picture, was charged on July 17 with unlawful possession of category H firearms, dangerous conduct with weapon and two counts of deprivation of liberty. He has been given strict bail conditions and will appear before the Emerald Magistrates Court on August 26.
