The rain soaking Australia's east Coast is expected to continue into the weekend. Some parts of New South Wales have received their heaviest falls in almost a decade, with areas in the north recording more than 100mm. It's a reprieve for several bushfire-ravaged areas, with the number of blazes burning across the state now under 100 - a first since early December. The downpour has also brought relief to drought-affected areas of Queensland.
