Dramatic aerial footage shows the extent of the NSW floods with many areas looking like an 'inland sea.'

I like the fact old mate in the excavator is working overtime.

I've been watching that excavator since about 6am, was still dark and still flashing. Amazing it hasn't shorted out by now!

Jokes aside... My brother has lost his house, his car was swept away & appears he won't have a job 4 awhile..So yeah, Happy Easter 2 all.

Seeing these 'flood plains'; 'flooded' is very shocking. I mean pretty much the last place you'd expect to see flooding is a flood plain...right?

[dysanics]

i watch this video as it pours and floods outside... yes i live in nsw, yes the weather is insane.

[hoptoit]

I keep looking outside and praying the rain will stop. One extreem to the other 😰

[SodaiGoku]

How on earth is that beacon still going on that excavator?!

[monk]

Please tell me no one's going to rebuild a house or factory in these flooded areas after the water has gone down.

[NathanCroucher]

some place too much water some place not enough 😔

[ltpie]

Time to get your buckets out and fill up for next years water restrictions. Perhaps we could build a few more catchments in case of excessive oversupply of water that may occur? Nah.

Australia is over 7, 600, 000 sq kms, yet people buy joints in Flood Plains? Weird.

[brzdie]

Im in nsw and I live next to a flooded lake/river

Concrete flood barriers setup across the sides of the water bodies can help reduce the devastating impact of floods to an extend.

Buying a house in a flood plain is always a risk. Just as building in a forest.
