No further flooding is expected along the Dawson River at Baralaba.
No observations are currently available for the Dawson River at Baralaba (manual gauge). However based on the nearby automatic gauge the river level is estimated to have peaked below the minor flood level during Friday evening, and is expected to now be falling.
