As flood waters continue to rumble downstream to places such as Bourke and Brewarrina, the State Emergency Service (SES) has moved its base to best deal with any problems that may eventuate.

A spokesperson for the SES said the organisation’s attentions had been turned to Brewarrina, with localised flooding creating a major headache for the volunteers.

“It’s not so much the rivers that are the problem up that way as it is water just laying on the ground,” the spokesperson said.

“There is quite a lot of localised flooding and there is some isolation of properties in the region so we are running a lot of air support to those people.

“That could be the case for up to three weeks depending on what the weather brings but we’ve been keeping an eye on the forecasts and there isn’t any significant rain predicted for a while.”

Meanwhile, the various river systems across NSW continue to fill up.

A minor to moderate flood warning is in place for the Darling River at Bourke, with water expected to peak at 11 metres next Tuesday.

At Nyngan, the Bogan River is expected to peak at 3.5 metres today, however, it will bring no where near the devastation the town suffered in 1990.

The Macquarie River at Gin Gin Weir peaked at 4.9 metres at about 5am on Wednesday with irrigators granted permission to use some of the current flood waters, meaning that the river is now expected to peak below its minor flood level of 7.5 metres.

The first river to flood after the storms, the Bogan River, is falling, with towns downstream of Coonamble expected to experience minor rural flooding for the rest of the week.

Yesterday the river peaked at the tiny township of Gungalman, where the water level was measuring 3.8 metres.

Gungalman is located between Coonamble and Carinda in the north-west area of the State.
