In more southern parts of New South Wales, ski areas reportedly received as much as a half meter of snow. The winter weather caused a number of accidents, and led to road closures, local authorities reported.

In Western Australia, authorities warned that some areas could see winds as high as 125km/h (about 78 mph) along with intense rain. Credit: Robert Every via Storyful
