NSW:Flood agony could go on for another month

The SES is warning flood turmoil in rural New South Wales won't relent until late next
month .. despite recent drier weather.

Rain clouds have moved north .. but the region is still suffering as a result of the
deluge in Queensland .. and moderate to major flooding is expected along the Culgoa, Bokhara
and Narran rivers in coming weeks.

The SES says it's still monitoring all areas at risk from long-term flooding in far
western New South Wales and the south.

Floodwaters from western flowing rivers are also continuing to cause minor to moderate
flooding along the Barwon River.

Many rural communities have begun the long and difficult clean-up .. but about 100
large rural properties across the state are still isolated by flooding .. with food and
other vital items being dropped off by air.
