Yes – certainly the most widespread flooding event in quite some time. About an 800km stretch of East Coast was affected. In some of the pics you will see caravans caught in the flood waters – this is in the most flood prone part of Lismore but there is some ongoing argument about why the residents were not evacuated in time.
For those interested in all the floods which have hit Lismore – which is probably the most flood-prone city in the country – have a look at this report:

Hi Jimmy, Been a much quieter week on the North Coast since the storm late on the 1st January. Enjoyed a two hour lightning show as the line of storms advanced in from the WNW – a not so common direction for storms here. Most of the lightning was in-cloud or otherwise obscured though it was occurring multiple times per second at times. These few pics were taken from home at McLeans Ridges. Very strong damaging winds hit. There’s a lot of tree damage around the district. 
Today it is mild with a fresh and gusty S-SE wind blowing. Some isolated showers have occurred. Inland things have fired up west of Moree and further north. Could be quite a significant storm day tomorrow across a large part of NSW.

Michael, Happy New Year! I hope your year turns out to be fruitful and pleasant. Sympathies for the bad news you and your family have had to endure. It is part of life’s pains. What is it this year with the storms! How explosive was that last lot! Some impressive structures and intense supercells this year on the north coast. Down here, we are stuggling to produce any storms – very low below average and we have had one half hearted attempt of a low topped version a month or so ago. Even the Hunter has relatively been down. So now we have to endure some heat after yesterday’s storms over the ranges. Imelda and Kimberly are doing well – Imelda goes for a pregnancy check-up tomorrow. Regards, Jimmy Deguara
