It's been an upside-down waterfall kind of week in Victoria
There has been a lot of wild weather in Victoria this week and we think this upside-down waterfall sums it up perfectly.
A complex low pressure system caused a sustained period of heavy rain and powerful winds in Victoria on Wednesday and Thursday.
We reported earlier in the week that this rain was heavy enough to cause major flooding and the wind was so strong that it brought down trees and left hundreds of thousands without power.
But amid this carnage, photographer @roar_image_photography on Instagram managed to capture a spectacular photo of an upside-down waterfall near the Twelve Apostles on Wednesday.

The scene was created by a combination of rainfall flowing off the edge of the limestone cliffs at the same time blustery onshore winds were blowing back up the cliff's face. The same phenomenon has also been filmed in Sydney and Scotland in the past.

Thankfully, conditions have been calmer in Victoria on Friday, although more rain will fall over already flooded areas of eastern Victoria on Friday night into Saturday. This rain may cause renewed flooding in the region, so be sure to check the latest warnings and advisories during the next few days.
