There isn't a cloud in sight, and it hasn't rained, but the incoming flood is imminent in western Queensland and north west NSW.

Heavy rainfall at the headwaters on Queensland's Southern Downs takes nearly a month to reach properties in western Queensland

"There's so much joy, so much happiness and relief that these rivers are all flowing," Mr Wilson said.
