In rural NSW everything has submerged into the water. Molong which is located about 300km northwest of Sydney is one of the towns hit by heavy flooding, more than two thousand people are affected by the same. Molong's Mayor, Kevin Beatty told radio station 2GB, "Almost every shop went under (water)." Further, he shared that it appeared to be some container that was stuck on the highway which made it difficult for the emergency crew to reach Molong. Meanwhile, around 800 residents of Eugowra were ordered to move to a higher place after officials believed that evacuation is not possible because of flash flooding. Whereas, the east of Australia is currently dealing with the La Nina weather phenomenon (associated with increased rainfall) straight for the third year.
