A major weather warning is in place for Australia with some parts of the country to be lashed by a month's worth of rain during the next 10 days.
While Australia experienced its second driest May on record, the first fortnight of June will see a downpour for about half the country.
Two rain-bearing weather systems will soak a broad area of south western, southern, south eastern and eastern Australia during the next seven to ten days.
