The record-breaking rain over Australia's east coast has flooded towns and cities in Queensland and New South Wales, submerging thousands of homes and leaving at least 14 people dead.

After inundating Brisbane, Gympie, Lismore and Ballina, the rain system headed south, leading to flooding in greater Sydney, the Hunter and the Central Coast. Half a million people were subject to evacuation orders in NSW on Thursday afternoon, with the region still facing treacherous conditions over the next 24 hours.
