Severe weather warnings remain in some eastern parts of Australia recovering from ex-tropical cyclone Alfred.

Flood warnings ranging from minor to major still apply in northern New South Wales - with rain expected to ease - and southeast Queensland.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns says people should keep clear of dangerous powerlines, likely to be across the Northern Rivers Region to Coffs Harbour.

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the worst of the disaster has wrapped up - but recovery efforts are underway.
