Minor Flood Warning For The Barwon And Darling Rivers
Issued at 01:54 PM EST on Friday 18 April 2025
Flood Warning Number: 15

*** Reissue to correct date of past flood peak at Walgett ***
MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE AT BREWARRINA, LIKELY AT BOURKE FROM SUNDAY, AND LIKELY AT LOUTH FROM LATE NEXT WEEK
MINOR FLOODING OCCURRING AT WALGETT
The main flood peak along the Barwon River is nearing Geera. This flood water may cause minor flooding at Brewarrina from Sunday, before a minor flood peak in the middle of the coming week. Upstream of Brewarrina minor flooding is easing at Walgett where river levels may fall below the minor flood level during Monday.
Further downstream along the Darling River at Bourke, minor flooding may develop during Sunday as inflows from the Culgoa and Bokhara Rivers combine with Barwon River flows, with further rises predicted as the upstream peaks arrive later in April. Minor flooding is possible at Louth from late next week as inflows from the Warrego River combines with the flows from Bourke.
Waterholes and storages will fill as the flood waters move downstream through the Barwon and Culgoa Rivers. The flood peaks at Bourke and downstream will depend on how much water will be retained in the main channels of the rivers and how much is lost filling waterholes and along the flood plain. Peak predictions and timings at downstream locations will be refined once upstream peaks have been observed.

Barwon River downstream of Collarenebri to Walgett:
Minor flooding is occurring along the Barwon River downstream of Collarenebri to Walgett.
The Barwon River at Walgett peaked at 11.74 metres Saturday 12 April, with minor flooding. The river is currently at 10.96 metres and falling, with minor flooding.
The Barwon River at Walgett is likely to fall below the minor flood level (10.50 m) during Monday.

Barwon River downstream of Walgett to Brewarrina:
Minor flooding may occur along the Barwon River downstream of Walgett to Brewarrina.
The Barwon River at Brewarrina is currently at 5.89 metres and rising, below the minor flood level.
The Barwon River at Brewarrina may exceed the minor flood level (6.40 m) during Sunday. The river level may peak near 6.70 metres mid week (22 to 24 April), with minor flooding.

Barwon and Darling Rivers downstream of Brewarrina to Bourke:
Minor flooding is likely along the Barwon and Darling Rivers downstream of Brewarrina to Bourke.
The Darling River at Bourke is currently at 8.91 metres and rising, below the minor flood level.
The Darling River at Bourke is likely to exceed the minor flood level (9.50 m) during Sunday. The river level may reach around 10.30 metres at the end of the month (26 to 30 April), with minor flooding. Higher levels are possible as upstream flood water arrives. Peak predictions will be refined once upstream peaks have been observed.

Darling River downstream of Bourke to Tilpa:
Minor flooding is likely along the Darling River downstream of Bourke to Tilpa.
The Darling River at Louth is currently at 7.44 metres and rising, below the minor flood level.
The Darling River at Louth is likely to reach the minor flood level (8.60 m) late next week (24 -28 April). Higher levels are possible as upstream flows arrive. Peak predictions will be refined once upstream peaks have been observed.
