GOLD Coast streets have turned to rivers overnight, with one resident swapping a car for a tinny and a set of oars.
Ricky Kroesen has uploaded a video to Twitter of a resident rowing along a street in Southport following eight hours of rain overnight.
In the neighbouring yard, water has almost reached the back of a ute's tray.

Picket fences are half submerged while Keebra Park is also flooded in the suburb.
The Gold Coast Seaway - a neighbouring area to Southport - recorded 255mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am this morning.
Meanwhile Loders Creek Dam received a whopping 330mm in the same time period.
