A rare weather phenomenon has occurred above Australia, with two almost symmetrical cloud "rivers" forming at opposite ends of the country.
An "atmospheric river" is caused when a stream of very moist air moves in from the tropics and causes very heavy rain.
The Bureau of Meteorology calls these streams "atmospheric rivers".
