Not again! BoM issues Flood warning for Qld and NSW.

"A major rain event will engulf most of eastern Australia during the next 48 hours, prompting the Bureau of Meteorology to issue flood watches from southern Queensland to the NSW South Coast.

"Greater Sydney could be soaked by up to 200mm from late Thursday to early Saturday, potentially leading to major flooding along the Hawkesbury-Nepean River, while Brisbane and Canberra also face the prospect of heavy rain."

Try out bottlebrush, not sure of the variety but they're one of the trees that does very well on riverbanks and can survive being underwater for 5 days just fine.

They also grow pretty slowly and aren't a massive tree unlike the casuarina.

They love growing on river banks and often go under in floods. A good nursery should be able to point you in the right direction.
