Australia’s eastern rivers were already near capacity following record downpours in several parts of Queensland and New South Wales states over recent weeks, cutting off towns, and sweeping away farms, livestock and roads.
A 67-year-old woman and her 34-year-old son were found dead near an abandoned car in a stormwater canal in western Sydney, the authorities said, while Queensland police confirmed the death of a man missing in floods since Feb 27, taking the death toll to 20 since the deluge began. Most people were found dead either in flooded homes or in cars attempting to cross flooded roads.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Dean Narramore said minor to major flooding was occurring from the Queensland to Victoria border, a distance of more than 1,555 km.
