From 11:06am Mon 22 Jun to 6:06pm Mon 29 Jun

RIVER LEVELS ARE RECEDING SLOWLY ALONG THE WARBURTON RIVER AT POOTHAPOOTHA AND THE LOWER COOPER CREEK AROUND INNAMINCKA

Along the Warburton River at Poothapootha Waterhole, the river level continues to fall slowly but is likely to remain elevated for the next few weeks. Along the lower Cooper Creek at Walkers Crossing and Coongie Lakes, creek levels continue to fall slowly.
