Flood-weary residents across Australia's southeast rushed to fortify their properties with sandbags on Wednesday as water continued to flow from overloaded dams and swollen rivers.
Heavy rain over three days into Monday burst river banks, unmoored houses, submerged bridges and cut off entire towns in the rural southwest regions of New South Wales the worst-affected state, and northeast parts of Victoria.
Forbes, one of the worst-affected rural towns in the state's wheatbelt, is on high alert with the Lachlan River expected to peak near a 70-year high later on Wednesday - the second time in as many weeks. Flooded highways near several inland towns are hampering rescue operations and have disrupted supplies.
" not something I have seen before, not something that we want to see repeating any time soon," owner Joseph Bernardi told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
