The Indonesian government is donating $1 million to Queensland Premier Anna Bligh's disaster relief appeal.

Indonesia's foreign minister, Marty Natalegawa, says his government has been impressed by the resilience of the people of Queensland.

"We have been seeing with a great deal of admiration their resilience, the stoic way they have been confronting the obvious difficulties that they are confronting," he said.

"We would like to assure the people of Queensland, the people of Australia, that we know what these situations are like and and if there is any other way that we can be of help, please let us know."

Mr Natalegawa says he hopes the "modest sum" will help affected residents recover.

"No doubt there will be a long-term impact in terms of crops, in terms of business losses and there will be financial consequences to all this," he said.

"But you can rely on Indonesia to be with Australia in this very difficult time."
