Welcome rain in parts of drought-stricken NSW, Queensland
Story by 9 News.
PARTS OF the coast, ranges and slopes of New South Wales and Queensland have gained some decent rain in the past few days and most places have a chance of more in the next few.
Some spots near the coastal border have seen more than a month’s worth in one or two days.
Ballina’s 100mm-plus since Sunday night is well above its monthly average of 62mm. It is also its biggest rain in 10 months and biggest for September in more than 25 years.
Both Cape Byron (68mm) and Yamba (65mm) have also gained more than a month’s worth of rain in under two days.
“So what that offers the customer is the security of having the same energy prices for two years,” Mr Henderson.
