Last year it was Queensland this year its New South Wales
Highest floods for the past 140 years in some places.
Wet damp and humid, I wouldn't like to be in the low lying areas

Wagga Wagga is two words or it can be one Wagga but never a Waggawagga. [pronounced Wogga Wogga]
Woy Woy is always a Woy Woy but never a Woy

NSW had flooding last year too.
About 12 months ago I was up at Menindee Lakes (an hour south of Broken Hill) with my fuel truck supporting a rescue chopper placed there on standby.
Otherwise I'm pretty dry at the minute down in Vic. The recent rain has caused problems with the airport upgrade constructions however.
And due to government funding, they have a pretty strict deadline.

Yeah, in town where I am never floods. The low lying areas can get into trouble mostly due to rain fall up stream of the two rivers that cut through the area (one comes from the main water catchment area in the hills, Lake Glenmaggie dam).
The Riverina won't affect too much to the east of Melbourne where I am, if anything it will cut across the west of Vic and into SA where the Murry meets the sea.

Too wet. But we have had some false alarms due to leaking roofs setting off automated alarm systems.
