VIDEO: 75 mph winds cause Australian waterfalls to flow upwards

[Laur]

Waterfalls, eh? Let's have a look at that word there, "waterfall". Now we can surmise from the beginning of that word that it somehow involves water, and from the ending, that it involves said water... falling. Well, as it turns out in Australia, that's not always the case.

The reason why the whole water-falling-down-thing hasn't been going as planned is down to the incredibly strong winds blasting around southern Australia of late.

This, along with a month's rain falling in just one day, has left some waterfalls jetting water both upwards and downwards with 75mph winds pushing the torrent of water up, down, around and generally all over the shop.

To witness this startlingly scary piece of nature for yourself, you can avoid enduring the wacky weather conditions by just clicking play on the video below. It's like magic, really, this YouTube thingumummy, isn't it?
