Ex-cyclone bringing heavy rain, storms to multiple states
Ex-tropical cyclone Kirrily will bring up to 100mm of rain to Australia's south-east almost two weeks after making landfall in northern Queensland.
Kirrily was a category two storm when it hit the coast just north of Townsville on January 25.
Since then, it has brought record-breaking rain to northern Queensland and the Northern Territory before hitting South Australia.
