Areas in regional outback Queensland saw rainfall records broken after ex-cyclone Esther swept across parts of the state yesterday.
The regional town of Thargomindah broke a 21 year old record for its wettest day after recording 128 millimetres of rainfall since 9:00am yesterday.
The ex-cyclone brought major floods to the region with many homesteads being cut off.
Despite this, the heavy rain delighted local residents with one saying, “the whole town just has a really excited vibe to it - when it's been as dry as it has for so long, it just really lifts spirits”.
