The main flood peak is downstream of Rocky, where a moderate flood peak is estimated to have occurred during Wednesday. River levels are slowly easing with minor flooding. Another flood peak has passed Wallen and is approaching Cunnamulla Bridge. This flood peak is smaller than the previous peaks so it is not expected to cause significant rises downstream, but it may result in extended elevated river levels at both Cunnamulla Bridge and Rocky. Warrego River downstream of Charleville: Minor flooding is occurring along the lower Warrego River between Cunnamulla Bridge and Rocky. No current river level observations are available for the Warrego River at Cunnamulla Bridge. However, based on river levels at the nearby automatic gauge, the river level at Cunnamulla Bridge is estimated to be slowly falling, with minor flooding. The Warrego River at Cunnamulla Bridge is likely to remain above the minor flood level (6.00 m) into next week. The Warrego River at Rocky is estimated to have peaked around the moderate flood level on Wednesday, based on upstream peaks.
