ABC radio reports major damage to roads and minor damage to railways in
northern NSW as a result of recent heavy rain and subsequent flooding.
Does anybody know what actual damage has been caused to railways?
The Namoi and Peel rivers are already in flood, and the Castlereagh and
Macquarie are still rising.
The Peel at Tamworth is expected to block all road traffic later today. Is
a 620/720 being sent up there as is usually the case when the town is cut
in half? Woolomin, upstream from Tamworth, has already been evacuated.
Wee Waa and Calala are already isolated. With more rain expected today,
Gunnedah, Warren and Walgett are expected to become isolated.
Cheers
