Minor to Moderate Flood Warning for the Darling River and Final flood warning for the Barwon River
Issued at 1:25 PM EST on Monday 28 Apr 2025.
Flood Warning Number: 20
MINOR FLOODING OCCURRING AT BOURKE AND LOUTH
MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE AT LOUTH AND TILPA DURING MAY
The river level along the Barwon River at Brewarrina fell below the minor flood level overnight Friday 25 April. 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 main flood peak along the Darling River is now approaching Bourke, where minor flooding is occurring.
Further downstream, minor flooding is occurring at Louth where moderate flooding is possible during the first week of May. At Tilpa, minor flooding is likely from Tuesday, and moderate flooding is possible during the second week of May. At Wilcannia, minor flooding is likely from mid May, with higher levels possible.
