"This part here is actually lower than the river, so we're expecting the water will come in and hang around for a long time and might take a long time to go away after the river reaches its peak. "We can't live in the house, there's no electricity there, no sewerage so [we] have to move out, but we'll be back and we will be rebuilding," Mr Haythorpe said."It is now unsafe to evacuate the area," the SES said.
Ian King was home at Mundic Creek near Paringa when the water levels were expected to peak at Renmark.
