Flooding over the interior of Queensland, particularly the south during early February, a very significant rainfall event occurred over inland Queensland and New South Wales. A relatively stationary trough produced days of moderate to heavy rainfall over the Central West, Warrego, Maranoa, Central Highlands and Channel Country Regions of Queensland. Daily totals were as high as 200 mm during the event, with rainfall totals for the whole event in excess of 500 mm. Record major flooding was recorded through the Maranoa and Balonne Rivers, including the towns of Mitchell, Roma and St George. The largest flood since the record flood of 1990 was recorded in the Warrego River at Charleville, with levels reaching very close to the newly completed levee. Other towns affected during this period include: Thallon, Flinton, Nindigully, Surat, Amby, Bollon, Dirranbandi, Hebel, Augathella, Cunnamulla, Eulo, Hungerford, Quilpie, Thargomindah, Blackall, Isisford, Longreach, Windorah, Jericho and Alpha.
