Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred is dumping heavy rain across large parts of South East Queensland and northern New South Wales as it moves inland after crossing the Queensland coast this morning.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred changes track towards the mainland, with damaging winds and heavy rainfall expected to be felt from tomorrow. Here's how Tuesday unfolded.

Significant damage and power outages are possible in the densely populated region of Queensland, where tropical cyclones impacts are not uncommon but direct landfalls are.
