The clean up and the cost of Lismore floods
The floodwaters have receded in New South Wales but the true cost is still being counted as residents survey the wreckage left behind. At the end of February record levels of rain caused widespread flooding which also hit Sydney and parts of Queensland leading the Australian government to declare a national emergency earlier this week. One local MP called it a "humanitarian crisis." Binnie O'Dwyer is a resident of Lismore. Her home is in what's called 'the basin' or the flood zone.
