Residents of the western NSW town of Euabalong are in good spirits as crucial banks hold against the swollen Lachlan River.
Local publican, Neil Quinn, who runs the Royal Hotel, said the town had put in a massive effort to stop the floods, including septuagenarians on their hands and knees filling sandbags.
"I don't know how we did it, but we stopped the river," he told AAP on Sunday.
