The leading Macintyre River flood waters are expected to reach Boggabilla late tonight to cause Minor flooding. However, later and higher flood waters from both the Macintyre and Dumaresq Rivers are expected to peak at Boggabilla Thursday morning with Minor flooding. The Severn River at Ashford is still above minor flood level. FLOOD WARNING FOR THE GWYDIR RIVER AT GRAVESEND AND DOWNSTREAM Issued at 9:30am on Tuesday the 27th of November 2001 The flood peak is now downstream of Yarraman Bridge where it peaked at 6.5 metres. The river should remain above MINOR flood level for the next 24 hours with a second peak caused by moderate rainfall which fell in the 3 hours from 6 to 9pm last night .

FLOOD WARNING FOR THE MACINTYRE RIVER Brisbane. The flood waters in the Macintyre River are downstream of Holdfast and approaching the junction with the Dumeresq River.
