Bulli Pass closed as the road turns into a river

Bulli Pass was closed as 53mm of rain fell during Thursday morning.

A resident living near the pass said they were worried the road was going to fall into their back garden.

In the video above and photographs below you can see the amount of water rushing down the mountain. Other photographs show a tree fallen across the road and the road appears to be lifted in a section.
