The effects of the floods are starting to come clear. After the Yea township received around 140mm of rain over a 24hr period and the catchments of the Yea river and Murrindindi river both received almost 200mm, there was evidently a substantial amount of flooding in Yea township and surrounding areas.
Today there are many crews from Murrindindi Shire Council, Victoria Police, Victoria State Emergency Service, VicRoads and the CFA (Country Fire Authority) assessing areas around the town that were impacted by floodwaters.
We would like to remind everyone that there are still a few roads that are impacted by floodwaters and that are impassable!
Lastly we would like to give a special thanks to Alexandra Fire Brigade, SES Alexandra Unit, Yea Police Station and local CFA brigades for their amazing assistance!
