The Murray River has peaked at the border, with a large volume of water now flowing through the river system.
The volume of water flowing into the Murray River at the border has now declined for three days in a row.The forecast peak has hit the Renmark community as scheduled, with the levee holding.
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 group had been returning to collect furniture from their property when their vessel sank and they had to cling to trees."The near miss is a timely reminder of the dangers of the river," Mr Beattie said.
SA Premier Peter Malinauskas on Tuesday announced $10,000 grants for small businesses, farm enterprises and not-for-profit organisations affected by the floods. Meanwhile, ex-tropical cyclone Ellie continues to dump intense rain on the Northern Territory's vast Barkly region, with Alexandria Downs Station recording 156mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am Tuesday.
