ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC:
FLOODING IS EASING ACROSS THE BARKLY AND CARPENTARIA CATCHMENTS
Widespread showers and isolated heavy falls have eased across the Barkly and Carpentaria catchments. However, slow moving storms may result in increased rainfall in the Carpentaria over the weekend but is not expected to cause riverine flooding.
River and creek levels are gradually easing across the Barkly and Carpentaria catchments, but some roads and river crossings may still be impacted. Check road conditions before travelling.
Flood warnings are current for the Nicholson and Georgina Rivers; however, the flood risk is for locations on the Queensland side of the catchment.
