July 2022 update. It’s flooding again. Again.
I have been talking about flooding on the Hawkesbury-Nepean river for many many years. If you’ve arrived at this page as the result of a Google search, please consider these resources:
• My more recent video and post about the July 2022 floods, with some very striking video
• All my output on this website about flooding.

This video was taken when the waters still had about 2 more meters to rise.
I’m indebted to the excellent Hawkesbury Flood Statistics facebook page for making excellent real-time data available about river heights and closures.
Here’s their summary after the waters subsided:
