Flood warnings have been issued for towns across northern New South Wales as heavy rains and abnormally high tides continue to batter a 500-kilometre stretch of coast from Taree to the border town of Tweed Heads.
The Bureau of Meteorology on Tuesday afternoon issued a number of minor and moderate flood warnings for rivers stretching from the state’s mid-north to far-north coasts, including at Murwillumbah, where residents were earlier subject to a flood evacuation notice.
Although conditions eased in some areas on Tuesday, the bureau said showers and thunderstorms would persist over the coming days and would “continue to bring the risk of flash flooding”.
