The Bureau of Meteorology advises river levels at Coraki and Bungawalbyn peaked below the minor flood level Tuesday evening.

While further showers are forecast this week, they are not expected to cause flooding.

No further flooding is expected in the Richmond River.

The Richmond River at Coraki is currently at 1.81 metres, below the minor flood level and falling.

Based on predictions from the Bureau of Meteorology, the following areas may be impacted by floodwaters:

Low-lying causeways and culverts

low-lying river flats and plains.

What you need to do:

Consider the consequences of road and bridge closures. Damage to roads, bridges or buildings caused by flooding and landslip may still exist in your area.

Consider the need to make alternate arrangements for work, children, and travel.

Be aware of road hazards including mud and debris.

Remain vigilant as there could still be water in low lying areas.

Obey all signs about road closures and instructions from emergency services.

Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in flood water – it is dangerous, toxic, and may void your car insurance. If it’s flooded, forget it. Fines may apply.

Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines, creeks, and rivers.

  1. My husband first symptoms of Parkinson’s occurred during covid, but was diagnosed in 2021 when he was 61 years. He was on Levodopa- not crazy about it! he was also on Sifrol and rotigotine not crazy about any of it either, The Levodopa did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. He had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness and even slow movements. I was a master Gardener and love herbs! This Parkinson’s took my life from me, I was no longer able to work in my garden anymore because I was a full time caregiver for my husband. We stopped most of his Parkinson’s medications due to severe side effects and I started him on Ayurvedic treatments from Natural Herbs Centre natural herbs centre . com , the treatment has made a very huge difference for him. His symptoms including body weakness, tremors and slurred speech disappeared after few months on the treatment. He is getting active again since starting this treatment, he is able to walk and able to ride his treadmill again.. This Ayurvedic treatment is a miracle!! I can personally vouch for  these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you
