Houses in Adelaide's north-western suburbs have been flooded during heavy weekend rain. By late Sunday morning, Old Port Road at Queenstown looked more like a river.
Police said about 10 homes in the area flooded. Buses and other traffic were diverted for hours. Residents said water collected at wetlands under construction across the road from them and was unable to drain away.

A Brisbane school is providing a much-needed boost to flood-affected Bundaberg schools in southern Queensland. About a dozen schools in Bundaberg were inundated by January's floods.
Three months on, Brisbane Grammar School, is still helping out. Community services coordinator Phillipa Douglas says teachers and students at the school have been collecting stationery, books and art supplies to send to Bundaberg schools.
The Bureau of Meteorology has installed a weather radar in the remote community of Warruwi on South Goulburn Island in the Northern Territory. Situated off the coast of Arnhem Land, the Goulburn Islands are a real hot spot for cyclones, and were severely damaged by Cyclone Monica in 2006.
However, the region has been a black-spot in terms of coverage and monitoring for the weather bureau - until now. Warruwi Elder, Bunug Galaminda, says the official opening has been a day of celebration for the community.
You are so much wiser and more intuitive than you ever could imagine! This is the message that is coming through to me for today’s reading. You are powerful and brilliant and limitless-a truly multidimensional being. And (surprise, surprise), most of the time your instincts are 100% right! But as we wear the Human bodysuit, we have a tendency to second guess ourselves, and to not trust what we can’t perceive with our five physical senses. Which is perfectly natural. Such is life behind the veil. But now the veil is crumbling like like cookie-crumbs, dissolving into nothingness, evaporating like water on a hot day-right along with the old and decaying ways of the third dimension. Before we know it, it will all be nothing but a part of our history, an incomprehensible bedtime story that we tell to our grandchildren.
There are continued warnings about dangerous seas on the New South Wales far south coast. Although most swimmers, fishers and boaters avoided the five to six metre waves at the weekend, one 13-year-old surfer did not heed the warnings.
He was winched to safety by the Rescue Helicopter at Narooma early yesterday morning. Far South Coast Director of Lifesaving, Andrew Edmunds, says the teenager was rescued because he did not have the strength to swim to shore.

Wake up, little ones. The day you’ve been waiting for is here. All that is missing is your waking up to it. The sun is out, only you are still a little sleepyhead.
Rub your eyes, and you will see a new world before you, yours for the asking. That is, you did ask for it, and now it is here. Your desires for the Universe are awaiting you. Now you wake up, and now you enjoy the fruits of your life and work.

If you're in the right place outdoors on the night of Earth Day, keep an eye on the sky. You're likely to see something that only comes along once a year: the annual Lyrid meteor shower.
