Queensland's Landsborough and Flinders highways have been cut off because of two-metre deep flood waters, preventing travel to Mount Isa or further west.
The Landsborough and Flinders highways were cut off on Sunday because of two metre-deep flood waters, preventing travel to Mount Isa or further west.
Motorists heading toward Cloncurry and Mount Isa were urged to stop at Winton which is several hundred kilometres southeast of the flooding.
Mr Warren told AAP the rain had eased in flooded areas and road trains and holiday makers would soon be able to continue their journey.
'These sorts of things happen on a a regular basis during the wet season,' Mr Warren told AAP.
'The town copes well and there are a few travellers here but there's also a lot of road trains and heavy transport stuck in town.
'In the next 24 hours things will hopefully improve so they can continue on their journeys.
'We've had bugger all rain when Cloncurry's had more than 200mm.'
The Bureau of Meteorology told AAP the worst of the wet weather across Queensland is over - for the time.
He said it had particularly calmed down in central Queensland.
'It's definitely eased, considerably,' the BOM forecaster told AAP.
'The last six hours the highest rainfall they've had (in central Queensland) is 10mm.'
He said there would still be showers and thunderstorms across the state but nothing like the rainfall experienced late last week.
'We'll have showers and thunderstorms and it's going to be a minimum,' he said.
'It's going to calm down a lot today.'
There is still a threat of major flooding along the Fitzroy River, despite storms easing and some rivers receding in other flood-affected parts of the state.
The bureau has issued minor flood warnings for the Maranoa River and a major flood warning for the Balonne River that will affect the towns of Weribone (on Monday), Surat (late Monday) and St George (Wednesday or Thursday).
The Balonne River is steady at 10.7 metres a Warkin.
Water releases from Seqwater's Wivenhoe and Somerset dams are expected to continue until early next week.
Seqwater says the Somerset gates are expected to be open until Tuesday afternoon and releases from Wivenhoe Dam, which has crept up to 79 per cent, will continue until at least Thursday.
Releases are also conducted at North Pine Dam overnight.
