Shipping container ends up floating on second floor of pro surfer's NSW home
A shipping container has ended up floating on the second floor of pro surfer Callum Robson's family home as a result of the widespread flooding crisis in northern New South Wales.
The professional athlete has shared a photo of the large metal shipping container floating close to the ceiling on the second-storey of his family home on social media.
The house is located in Woodburn near the Richmond River, which has burst its banks in a 'one-in-a-1000 year' event.

Surfer Callum Robson has posted a photo of a shipping container in his family home in Wesburn. Instagram
It is unknown exactly how the shipping container ended up inside the house, but it is believed to have smashed through a wall or window in the fast-moving floodwaters.
It is not known where the shipping container travelled from.
The picture, which was posted online yesterday evening, was taken from behind what appears to be the banister of a landing in the home.
Mr Robson described the scene as "absolutely crazy" and "devastating".
The town of Woodburn is one of many that have been hit hard by the flooding event.
Three people and a dog were rescued from the roof of a double-storey flooded home near Woodburn yesterday by an Australian Defence Force helicopter.
