Dean Steward from the weather bureau told Ross and John there’s more on the way.

“This whole system is contracting eastwards and it will push up into the north-east today and that’s where we expect the heaviest totals to be,” he said.

“There’ll be some quite widespread falls between 30-40mm, and even some isolated falls of up around 100mm.”

Swan Hill farmer Brett Hosking confirmed he woke to a pleasant sound.

“Yeah, nah, it’s wet up here,” he said.
