Soz but the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a wet autumn for large parts of Oz. And as we’re seeing this week, it doesn’t take much to turn already sodden ground into floods. Police have confirmed that they’ve found the body of Queensland man Phillip Lambert, who was reported missing after his motorbike was found in an area that had flooded near Gympie. And they confirmed a 2nd person died in floodwaters in the state’s southeast on Wednesday – her name was Philippa Tayler and she was found in her submerged vehicle. Authorities reissued their plea to those on wet roads: “if it’s flooded, forget it”. And Sydney has made it through its wettest summer in 30 years, with La Niña delivering more than 500mm of rain.
