The record-breaking rain over Australia’s east coast has flooded towns and cities in Queensland and New South Wales, submerging thousands of homes and leaving at least 21 people dead.

Here you can see maps and charts that show the extreme rainfall that has fallen across Queensland and NSW, with historically high totals in southern Queensland, particularly.
