Local residents wade along a road closed due to flooding following heavy rains in the midwestern New South Wales town of Forbes. "We'll have the first peak reaching Condobolin while the second peak hits Forbes," Mr Morris told AAP. "It's been really tough on locals, they've suffered millions of dollars of losses but they are still helping each other," Mr Morris said. "Everyone has turned out," Mr Morris said. NSW Farmers' president Derek Schoen said farmers had to remain vigilant while playing the waiting game to see the full impact of the floods.
