1 INTRODUCTION Written records of heavy rainfall in southeastern Australia stretch back more than 150 years, with detailed accounts of major riverine flooding and numerous fatalities (Callaghan & Power, 2014). Occurring with greater frequency over the warmer months (Warren et al., 2021; White et al., 2022), heavy rainfall has affected many parts of southeastern Australia (Figure 1) in the December–March (DJFM) period (Bureau of Meteorology, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2021, 2022).
