More flooding on the Barwon-Darling?
With landholders still cleaning up after recent flooding on the Barwon Darling River, the sight of the devastation across eastern Australia was probably unnerving.

“The focus has obviously been on the unfortunate events in the northern rivers and Sydney’s west, but there are already some good flows in the upper regions of the Barwon River,” Mr Webber said.
