Hi all, is there any website which monitors river levels? I was looking to head up Colo River at Canoe Creek but don't want to go if river levels are high. Cheers Shaun

Hi there is a website for this but someone else will have to answer what it is.
Here is a screenshot from the free app floods near me. Colo looks OK? That is the current level where the Colo meets the Hawkesbury.

The BOM site is good for that
I use it when checking the water levels in the Clarence before taking a three hour drive and being disappointed.

That's awesome thank you- just downloaded the floods app.
With the BOM site, is it in the app or website?
Cheers

Two good sites I know of.
Firstly:
https://www.waterwaysguide.org.au/river-levels. It's for paddlers, not for walkers, so the current level may not permit an easy crossing, but at least the river isn't flooded (as it often was earlier in the year).
Secondly:

Yeah that waterways guide is a good one. I didn't have it on the tip of my tongue before so i didn't mention it.
