Sir Kev & Darkie
The
Bridge in
St George is closed for the 2nd time in 12 months due to flood water. It is currently 0.55m under water and still rising.

They are predicting it to rise above 13.0m again, At 5:30am this morning it was 11.25m and rising.
"The Balonne River at
St George is now expected to reach 12 metres during Monday and 13 metres during Thursday with further rises. At 9pm Saturday the level at
St George was 11.0 metres and rising causing major flooding. The peak is not expected in
St George until the weekend of the 8th/9th January. Predictions of the peak above 13 metres will be given when upstream peaks are recorded."
Looks like they are going to get another big flood there but at least they have had plenty of warning and seem to be getting
well prepared :)
Cheers Kev
