"She got swept away and ended up sitting on a tree.

"We were out at other jobs which included people who were stuck trying to drive through flooded roads."

Mr Bell said the Mulwaree River at Landsdowne Bridge and Wollondilly River at Murrays Flat had a threat of flooding, but any consequences to homes nearby would be extremely minimal.

"We think the water could go into yards but it won't inundate homes on Hercules Street," he said.'

"There is also a small threat to homes on Derwent Street and Kenmore Street.

"In Towrang, residents will most likely be isolated for a while."

Goulburn Airport ended up receiving 63mm in the past 24 hours to 6pm according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
