Graziers in QLD’s Central West have seen the biggest drenching in 10 years as many had begun to sell off stock to cope with dry weather.

Between 50 to 100 mm of rain fell across the Hughenden and Richmond region yesterday, with Hughenden itself picking up 107mm, the heaviest rainfall seen in the area since February 2009.

Wet weather is expected to continue throughout the week, as a monsoon will linger over much of Northern Australia and will ease off as the weekend approaches
