Hundreds evacuated as flood waters hit New South Wales

In areas west of Sydney, residents have been warned not to drive or walk
through floodwaters as the region braces for the extra water to flow down
from the brimming Warragamba Dam.

Outside the city, farmers have been urged to move livestock, feed and other
equipment to higher ground, with the major town of Bathurst expected to see
significant flooding on Friday.

The Bureau of Meteorology said the main rainfall would be in the state’s
central and western areas, in places such as Mudgee and Dubbo, while there
would be an easing in Goulburn, Queanbeyan and Windsor to the south.

“But we are expecting it to move back to the southern parts of the state
over the weekend so people should stay on alert,” forecaster Julie
Evans said.

So far, no casualties have been reported.
