Alexei Popyrin's US Open run over, female worker mauled by tiger at Dreamworld: Australia news live

There's some costly damage on Mount Martha beach with some of the iconic beach boxes falling victim to the wild weather.

Local agent Darren Sadler said earlier this year boxes in the Mornington Peninsula area continue to sell above $600,000.

Resident Liane Willoughby shared the below image with the ABC showing the damage caused.

The mother of a baby doused in hot coffee at a Brisbane park has given an update on his condition.

She revealed nine-month-old Luka is "up and about, walking and causing chaos" as he awaits his third surgery after the random attack.

Police are still yet to identify a man seen on CCTV running from the park almost a week after the attack.

"This horrific event should have never happened. Hopefully one day justice will be served," his mother Erna said.

Queensland Ambulance has shared more details about the tiger attack at Dreamworld this morning.

A 47-year-old female worker sustained deep lacerations to her arm during the attack on the Gold Coast about 9am. Queensland Ambulance had earlier reported she was in her 30s.

"The bleeding had been managed very well by first aid providers there at Dreamworld, which was excellent to see," Queensland Ambulance Acting District Director Justin Payne told reporters.

Mr Payne said when paramedics arrived the woman was "quite pale and feeling unwell" but not in a serious condition.

Mr Payne said the woman was an experienced and senior handler but did not comment on what sparked the attack.

"We believe she was well-trained and it's good to see that she was able to be looked after by other support staff there," he said.

A holiday park says its staff are "very distressed" after a woman died when a tree fell on her cabin during wild winds overnight.

A 63-year-old guest was trapped under the tree at the Merool on the Murray Tasman Holiday Park and could not be saved. A man of the same age inside the cabin also injured his hand.

“We are devastated by the tragic events overnight at our park, Merool on the Murray, in Moama,” a Tasman Holiday Parks spokesperson said told The Nightly.

“We extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of both cabin occupants and our thoughts are with the gentleman currently being treated in hospital.

“We are also providing immediate support for our team on site who are understandably very distressed by this terrible accident.”

Alexei Popyrin's spectacular US Open run is over after losing in four sets to Frances Tiafoe 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 2-6, 6-3.

It was the Aussie's first ever Round of 16 tie at a Grand Slam and he produced a valiant display but ultimately it was not good enough to topple the American who was backed by a raucous home crowd at Flushing Meadows.

Whenever there are wild winds, it feels like a trampoline always makes an appearance.

Well one woman in Melbourne woke this morning to find one had appeared in her backyard.

Neatly placed on her lawn, she can't quite work out how it got there. See her reaction below.

Alexei Popyrin is still alive at the US Open after claiming the third set 6-2 against crowd favourite Frances Tiafoe.

The crowd is right behind the American but the 25-year-old Aussie is digging deep. Can he come back and produce a remarkable turnaround?

Dreamworld have now addressed this morning's tiger attack at the Gold Coast theme park.

"Dreamworld acknowledges an incident that occurred involving one of the park's tigers and a trained tiger handler," a theme park spokesperson has said.

"This was an isolated and rare incident, and we will conduct a thorough review accordingly."

The female worker in her 30s is currently in hospital with deep lacerations to her arm.

Well it's going to be a huge battle now for Alexei Popyrin if he's going to make it into the quarter finals of the US Open.

He is now two sets down to Frances Tiafoe and it will be hard to take for the Aussie after he was serving for the set at 5-3. He ended up losing the set on a tie break and has a mountain to climb.

That's because there's a raucous crowd here at the Arthur Ashe stadium where fans are firmly behind US star Tiafoe. Some online believe the crowd are taking it a step too far, cheering when Popyrin produces an error and few cheers when he scores points. One fan described it as "shameful".

Dreamworld are expected to release a statement shortly on the tiger attack this morning that has left a female worker in hospital.

Queensland Ambulance Service has told Yahoo the woman is in a stable condition and is currently at the Gold Coast University Hospital.

Dreamworld's Tiger Island has nine Sumatran and Bengal tigers housed at the popular tourist attraction.

In some breaking news, a female worker has been mauled by a tiger at Gold Coast's Dreamworld.

The woman has suffered deep lacerations and has been rushed to hospital, Queensland Ambulance Service told the Gold Coast Bulletin.

The worker, understood to be in her 30s, has suffered injuries to her arm.

Yahoo has contacted Queensland Ambulance Service for further details and will bring you those as soon as we get them.

The US's Frances Tiafoe has taken the first set 6-4 against Alexei Popyrin and the home crowd absolutely love it.

Popyrin did have a couple of break points earlier in the set but Tiafoe fought back and is now looking very strong, with the 25-year-old Aussie struggling with unforced errors.

While Popyrin has never been at this stage of a Grand Slam, Tiafoe has been in the last four and last eight of the previous two US Opens.

Well this could have ended very badly.

NSW SES crews have managed to secure a roof that has been blown off just metres from the Princes Highway at Bega.

"Luckily the tree behind it did a pretty good job of catching this roof before we got here," the local crew said.

The country's southeast continues to be hammered by destructive wind with several reports of damage as a result. Emergency services in Victoria are advising for those in the state to work from home where they can.

Alexei Popyrin looked in the zone as he emerged at the Arther Ashe Stadium with his headphones on earlier. It may have been an attempt to block out the noise of the crowd who are unsurprisingly right behind US star Frances Tiafoe. He got a huge reception when he came out onto the court.

But the Aussie star settled any nerves by winning the first game on his serve without losing a point.

One group of Melburnians will no doubt believe they've manifested a jackpot win thanks to their aptly-named syndicate.

‘Cash A Licious’, a syndicate set up in St Kilda, took home $2.5 million in Saturday's TattsLotto draw, with its eight members winning just over $315,000 each. Good luck to them all.

A woman has died after a tree fell on a cabin in Moama on the NSW-Victoria border.

Officers found the body of a 63-year-old woman in the wreckage after emergency services were called shortly before 4am. A 63-year-old man was also treated by paramedics for injuries to his right hand.

It comes as wild winds batter Australia's southeast. Millions of people have been warned to brace for the conditions as evacuation warnings are in place across Tasmania while watch and act warnings for winds equivalent to a category three cyclone are in place across Victoria.
