On Saturday (July 2) night the SES had to perform a rescue at Curraweela Creek after a car drove through on the way to the Abercrombie Bridge to find it flooded, then they turned around to head back to Taralga only to find the causeway had risen during this time. They drove into the Curraweela Creek and got stuck.
Please remember to never drive through a flooded road/causeway whether there is a road closed sign or not. Damage can be caused to the road surface under the water that is not visible until the water recedes.
