Thirty evacuation orders remained in place across the northern rivers region on Wednesday morning, while hundreds of vehicles remained stranded on the M1 highway between Ballina and Tweed Heads.
Here, you can see maps and charts that show the extent of the extreme rainfall and flooding-affected areas.
