In the state's north the long tail of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred is being felt as tens of thousands of fish and other marine life are left gasping for air as flood water makes its way to the coast. Dead fish are turning up in the thousands from the Macleay River, to the Richmond River and further north to the border. Meanwhile residents are left to gather the dead fish which is proving to be a very smelly and unpleasant task.
