Central- North New South Wales Floods

The southeast Queensland town of St George near the New South Wales border is braced for more flooding as the Balonne River peaks again.
Many properties would be isolated in the area of Lightning Ridge and roads could be expected to be impassable due to water over the road in many areas.
But this event may be less severe than the major inundations that occurred nearly two weeks ago.
The Balonne River is forecast to peak next week, lower than the 13.2 metres recorded a fortnight ago which resulted in damage to some homes.
