and 3 people missing... :(
QuoteCentral Australia was hit by heavy rain, causing flash flooding and the evacuation of residents from a remote community.

Three people were reported missing, their car believed to be bogged in a remote area.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was closed with roads leading to the park made unsafe by the rain.

The rain created waterfalls on the massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Australia's Red Centre

That'll clean the rubbish/Debris out of the river bed.
They'll have to use real boats for the Todd River Regatta this year.  (Provided they have the Regatta soon.)

well there was a short lived bit of flow south end of town, and through the gap, however as it was just 'run off' from the suburbs, I don't know if it really counts as the todd flowing. But lovely rain for the last few days nonetheless.
