Landmark Yatala pie shop flooded in SEQ

Flooding in southeast Queensland has claimed the Famous Yatala Pies shop, with the highway landmark inundated with water.

More closely resembling an island oasis in the middle of a murky brown lake, the pie shop's flooding will upset commuters who regularly make it a stopping point between Gold Coast and Brisbane.

Residents of the surrounding Logan and Beenleigh areas, near the Logan and Albert rivers, have been urged to seek higher ground with flood levels in the area reaching almost record levels.

The Pacific Motorway's exit next to the pie shop has also been shut off as arterial roads have been flooded.

"It's like a lake down there," one motorist told AAP. "It's really, really flooded."
