The northern regions of New South Wales are experiencing some of the worst flooding ever recorded with river levees overtopped and evacuation orders in place in many areas as the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) warns it may get worse as the week continues.
This comes as a slow-moving coastal trough extending from southern Queensland into northern NSW is bringing heavy rain to the north of the state and pushing multiple rivers to their limits, including the Wilson, Tweed, Richmond, Clarence, and Orara.
