Flood Warnings Persist Across Victoria | Australia News

Torrential rain has unleashed major flooding across Victoria, with a dozen flood warnings active and Wangaratta in serious danger as the Ovens River surges toward its peak. Mount Buffalo soaked over 160mm in one day, and while the downpour has lessened, rising waters from upstream still threaten further flooding. Authorities are sounding the alarm — don’t drive, walk, swim, or play near floodwaters — and heed road closures. Meanwhile, NSW’s flood alerts have been lifted, though wind gusts hit 100km/h in places like Thredbo. South Australia saw chaos too, with rescues at flooded intersections and a truck trapped in a sinkhole as Bremer River waters begin to recede.
