British backpackers awoke on February 6 to find their campervan, which was painted like the Mystery Machine from cartoon Scooby-Doo, partially submerged by floodwaters in Gordonvale, just south of Cairns, Queensland.

The van was parked at a picnic area that was dry the previous day but was hit by heavy rainfall in the evening, according to ABC. Rescuers saved three tourists from their van around 6 am on February 6. Credit: Sandra Charlton via Storyful
