Why is Australia prone to floods?
Many parts of Australia's eastern half and the north are flood-prone due to the numerous river systems and low plains throughout the region. The northern and eastern coasts are also prone to summer cyclones (which bring heavy rains) and seasonal monsoonal rains. These rains can send large amounts of water across the northern plains, through Queensland's "channel country", which floods huge areas of land in north western Queensland. Another particularly flood-prone region is the Hunter Valley in New South wales.
