    Rain-battered northern Australia is preparing for continued wet weather with flood-weary residents fearing more thick, black mud to clean up

    Rain-battered northern Australia is preparing for continued wet weather with flood-weary residents fearing more thick, black mud to clean up


    Ayr to Cairns in northern Queensland has been inundated with heavy rainfall and flooding for days as forecasters warn of falls of more than 100mm in the next 24 hours.

    Flood-affected residents are anxious their homes will again be swamped with water and mud, many calling these the worst floods they've experienced.
