Michael,
This has to be the first year in many years that widespread useful rains have fallen across such a large region of NSW and Queensland basically breaking the drought in many of these areas and I guess a follow up of January rains. Goulburn which for the first time in history had basically run out of water has full reserviors which is excellent.

Finally heavy rains have drenched drought stricken areas of NSW with well over 100mm of rain falling in some regions and more predicted. Some rivers are in flood with a potential flood alert for other rivers. The Hunter Valley and the North West Slopes as well as parts of north eastern NSW are also to be affected by heavy rains.
This all is the result of Tropical Cyclone Laurence. That severe tropical cyclone made all the way inland with continued tropical cyclone warnings which is very unusual.
