SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday flooding in the southeast posed "massive challenges" and the recovery would take several months.
Incessant rain over three days triggered major flooding in several rural towns in the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, as fast-rising rivers cut off more than 50,000 people last week.
