The Urquhart family, who live in Ghinni Ghinni near flood-ravaged Taree on the NSW Mid-North Coast, became trapped by rising waters on Friday night. Parts of Port Macquarie, Taree and nearby towns have also flooded in what Premier Gladys Berejiklian labelled a 'one-in-100-year event' for the region. The Hawkesbury River was predicted to reach peaks of up to 15 metres and the State Emergency Service says homes and properties will be flooded, some up to roof height. She said the NSW northwest slopes and plains would receive four times more rain in two days than the entire March monthly average.
