Further upstream, moderate flooding is occurring at Taroom, with river levels approaching a moderate flood peak late Wednesday evening. Minor flooding is occurring at Theodore Weir and Moura. Renewed rises are likely downstream of Taroom over the coming days as upstream flows arrive.
Along the Callide Creek, minor flooding is easing at Jambin. Along the Isaac River, a moderate flood peak was observed at Yatton during Wednesday morning, with moderate flooding slowly easing.
Elevated river levels are occurring across the Comet, Nogoa and Mackenzie River catchments.
