Flood waters from the Langlo and Ward Rivers have caused minor flooding along the Warrego River at Bakers Bend which is now easing. As these flood waters move downstream, minor flooding is likely at Wyandra Monday afternoon and at Cunnamulla Bridge from Monday night. Moderate flooding is also possible at Cunnamulla Bridge later in the week as upstream flows continue to arrive. Warrego River to Charleville: Minor flooding is occurring along the Warrego River to Charleville at Biddenham and The 27 Mile Garden. The Warrego River at Augathella is currently at 2.43 m and falling, below the minor flood level. The Warrego River at Augathella is likely to remain below the minor flood level (4.00 m). Langlo and Ward Rivers: Minor flooding is occurring along the Ward River at Binnowee.
