Issued at 09:32 AM EST on Sunday 22 December 2024
Flood Warning Number: 14
MINOR FLOODING CONTINUES AT DUNOLLIE
River levels are falling across the Burnett River catchment and flooding is slowly easing. A flood peak has now passed Dunollie, where minor flooding continues. This flood peak has now moved into the main Burnett River and is not expected to cause any further flooding along the lower Burnett River.
With no significant rainfall forecast for the next few days, river and creek levels across the Burnett River catchment will continue to fall over the next few days.
Stuart and Boyne Rivers:
Minor flooding continues along the Boyne River at Dunollie. Minor flooding is occurring at Cooranga.
The Boyne River at Dunollie is currently at 3.75 metres and falling, with minor flooding.
The Boyne River at Dunollie is likely to fall below the minor flood level (2.50 metres) overnight Sunday into Monday.
Barker and Barambah Creeks:
River levels remain elevated but are slowly falling along Barker Creek and Barambah Creek. Moderate flooding continues along Barker Creek at Glenmore. Minor flooding continues along Barambah Creek at Silverleaf Weir. Flooding is no longer occurring upstream at Ficks Crossing.
The Barambah Creek at Brian Pastures is expected to remain below the minor flood level (6.00 m) for the next several days.
Burnett River downstream of Paradise Dam:
Minor flooding is easing along the Burnett River downstream of Paradise Dam at Ned Churchward Weir
The Burnett River at Walla is currently at 5.56 metres, below the minor flood level (6.00 m) and steady.
The Burnett River at Walla is likely to remain below the minor flood level (6.00 m) for the next several days as peaks arrive from upstream.

ENSO status: La Niña Watch. IOD status: Neutral. SAM status: Negative. Trending positive. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is in a La Niña Watch. The current technical definition of a La Niña is only a small chance to be met, although ocean and atmospheric conditions do resemble a La Niña pattern. Trade winds are still stronger than average along the western equatorial Pacific, and Relative-Nino Index (factors in equatorial ocean temperatures elsewhere around the world, compensating for the background warming signal) is below the threshold. A La Niña typically leads to cooler temperatures northern Australia during summer, while producing higher temperatures for western/southwestern WA, Vic and western Tas. The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is in a neutral phase. Recent conditions have been like a negative IOD, but it is too late in the year for this climate driver to develop. Once the monsoon establishes over northern Australia, the IOD has no impact on Australia’s weather. The Southern AnnularMode (SAM) is in a brief negative phase, having switched a positive phase in November. Forecasts predict it will become neural in mid-late December and become positive in January and February. A positive SAM decreases the frequency of cold fronts, with more regular high pressure systems and easterly winds. During summer, this increases rainfall over eastern Australia, and reduces rainfall over southeastern SA, western Vic and western Tas. Rainfall outlooks are showing above average rainfall over large parts of the country during summer, with closer to average conditions for the southwest corner of WA, southern SA and Vic, and central parts of Tas.
