More than 900 people have called for emergency help and 29 people have needed to be rescued from the flooding. So far it is known that a 3 year old boy has died after being swept away into a storm-water drain. The town of Wee Waa in northern New South Wales has been temporarily cut off for up to one week by the flooding after the water reached a depth of 7 meters in certain areas and many rivers burst their banks due to the heavy rains. The town with 1,800 people will only be accessible by boat and helicopter and authorities are doing what they can to replenish food supplies. Evacuations have been made in Moree where it is expected that 60 homes will be cut off and already some 150 rural homes in the area have been isolated. The village of Garah near Moree was totally surrounded by water after a levy broke from the heavy rains.
