Minor Flood Warning for the Barwon River and Minor to Moderate Flood Warning for the Darling River
Issued at 1:29 PM EST on Friday 25 Apr 2025.
Flood Warning Number: 19
MINOR FLOODING OCCURRING AT BREWARRINA, BOURKE AND LOUTH
MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE AT LOUTH AND TILPA DURING MAY
Minor flooding continues along the Barwon River at Brewarrina, where river levels are falling. The flow along the Barwon River is combining with floodwaters from the Culgoa / Bokhara Rivers to cause river level rises along the Darling River. Flows along the Bogan River are insignificant during this event and are not expected to influence Darling River levels.
The flood peak along the Darling River is now approaching Bourke, where minor flooding is occurring. River levels may peak slightly below the moderate flood level from around Tuesday April 29 to Saturday May 3.
Further downstream, minor flooding is occurring at Louth, and moderate flooding is possible during the first week of May. At Tilpa, minor flooding is likely towards the end of April, and moderate flooding is possible during the second week of May. At Wilcannia, minor flooding is likely from mid May, with higher levels possible.
