Scattered showers on Saturday afternoon complicated plans for hundreds of early birds lining Sydney Harbour. Meanwhile, flooding along the Darling River threatens to inundate homes in the rural township of Menindee.
A rain-free New Year’s Eve beckons for those watching the fireworks on Sydney Harbour on Saturday night, as residents in the state’s far west are evacuated from yet more flooding.
“We’re not expecting any really low cloud, so even though there will be some cloud around, that won’t affect the fireworks at all,” Duma said. “Yesterday we had about 20 people clearing out three or four houses,” he said. “There are 80-year-old people that have got 50 years memories and possessions that have been told that they’re moving out, they’ve got no certainty of accommodation.”
