Australians are bracing for more floods, with more than 50,000 people being told to evacuate from Sydney as 800mm of rain fell in New South Wales (NSW) in four days – more than the amount of rainfall London receives in a year.

Hundreds of homes have been flooded in and around Australia’s largest city in what is being called a flood emergency.
