The body of a 60-year-old woman has been found in flood waters on the NSW mid-north coast, bringing the death toll to three, with authorities still holding grave fears for another person who is still missing.
The region is battling flooding which has “smashed through” communities on the mid-north coast and parts of the Hunter. The NSW premier, Chris Minns, told reporters on Thursday “we’re seeing levels of rise in local tributaries, creeks [and] rivers that we haven’t seen since 1920”.
