The Murray River has finally peaked at Renmark in South Australian but authorities say towns downstream should remain on high alert.
The Murray River has peaked at the South Australian border but authorities say towns downstream should remain on high alert.
The flood levee held up at Renmark but the downstream Mypolonga levee was breached on Monday and it could be overtopped in the coming days, Mr Beattie said.The Bolto community, about 100 kilometres east of Adelaide, is also isolated after the levee at Mannum was breached. The group had been returning to collect furniture from their property when their vessel sank and they had to cling to trees.“I encourage all people that have to use the river either for work or to access a property to be very mindful of the restrictions.“All non-essential activity on the Murray has been banned including boating, fishing and swimming, and multiple ferry services remain suspended.
