CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Australians battled both fires and some of the worst flooding in decades Monday that stranded residents in several communities after days of intense summer heat and storms.
Bureau of Meteorology hydrologist Gordon McKay said some parts of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, had experienced their worst floods in more than 50 years after a week of rain.
Those trapped included 1,000 music fans attending a four-day music festival in the state, officials said.
