 The extremely widespread flooding that resulted from record rains and unusually low evaporation caused at least 26 deaths on the North Coast during the winter.Although record rainfall occurred over about "two-thirds" of New South Wales and half of Queensland, the most remarkable rainfalls occurred over the central inland of New South Wales.At many stations in the basins of the Macquarie and Bogan Rivers, the 1950 annual rainfall are as much as higher than that of the second-wettest year in a record of around 130 years
