It was a big weekend on the Northern Rivers. Here are seven stories you might have missed:
1. Kayaker killed
Emergency services were called to Upper Tooloom Creek, in the Tooloom National Park near Urbenville, after reports a kayaker had capsized about 12.10pm on Saturday. Police were told the 68-year-old was kayaking with friends downstream when her kayak hit a log and she fell into fast flowing water before getting snagged on another log.
2. SES, BOM monitor potential ‘coastal trough’
Authorities are closely monitoring the possibility of a coastal trough developing later this week, bringing with it the potential for further heavy rainfall, flash flooding and riverine flooding.
