Subscriber only Records tumbled and rain flowed across the Northern Rivers with several local areas recording their wettest December ever in over 100 years of record keeping. December rainfall was the fourth highest on record for December for Australia as a whole but Tweed Heads led the way across the country for December rainfall. Tweed Heads Golf Club s old rainfall record of 487.2mm set in 1955 was washed away and replaced by the 558mm they received in 2020. Nimbin Post Office s previous record in 98 years of record keeping of 497.2 in 1970 was easily bettered 546.9mm they received last December. Nimbin s other weather station, Goolmangar Creek, also set a record after receiving 604mm which surpassed the past record 381mm in 2010
