A severe weather system has brought damaging winds and flooding to the southeast of Australia, resulting in a tragic fatality near the NSW-Victoria border.
Emergency services responded early on Monday morning after a tree fell on a cabin in Moama, killing a 63-year-old woman and injuring a 63-year-old man.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued severe weather warnings for damaging winds across most of Victoria, while NSW faces extreme fire danger and a total fire ban.
In Tasmania, thousands lost power due to strong winds, and evacuation advice was issued for residents near the Derwent river as flood waters rose.
