HEIGHTS WHERE LOCAL BRIDGES ARE CUT OFF BY FLOOD WATERS

The flood heights are only a guide. It will depend on where the rain actually falls. For example, One mile has flooded with more than a metre of water over it but according to the gauge at Kidd bridge the water wasn't high enough to flood the One Mile.
This was caused by the massive amounts of rain in the catchment of Deep Creek.
