Incredible photos of Australia from space capture astonishing transformation
An incredible series of satellite images have captured floodwaters filling rivers and lakes in parts of Queensland and New South Wales following heavy rain from former Tropical Cyclone Kirrily.
The once dry riverbeds now flow with water and large lakes have filled, creating what resemble inland seas in the relatively flat landscape.
Over the past two weeks, many clouds, rain and thunderstorms have affected the eastern part of inland Australia.
“This summer sodden was caused by the overland journey of former Tropical Cyclone Kirrily, which made landfall near Townsville on January 25 before hovering over eastern Australia for approximately 12 days,” explained a Weatherzone meteorologist.
