The Isis at Lower Timor was more than 2.5 metres and more than 14,000 mega litres.

A hydrologist from the Bureau of Meterology said while the rain is moving out today there is likely to be more rain on the horizon.

“When the catchment is wet it doesn’t take much to get a fresh through the river systems,” he said.

“There was also a peak in the Pages on September 2nd, it reached 3.9 metres at Blandford, 2.1 metres at Gundy and 3.6metres at Aberdeen,” the hydrologist said.
