However, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, the threat of minor flooding has passed.

Authorities are still closely monitoring the Murray River from Corowa to Tocumwal, as upstream flows approach peaks in Victoria.

The NSW SES has released the following flood advice:

Consider the consequences of road and bridge closures. Damage to roads, bridges or buildings caused by flooding and landslips may still exist in your area. Consider the need to make alternate arrangements for work, children and travel.
Be aware of road hazards, including mud and debris.
Remain vigilant, as there could still be water in low-lying areas.
Obey all signs about road closures and instructions from emergency services.
Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in flood water — it is dangerous, toxic and may void your car insurance. If it’s flooded, forget it. Fines may apply.
Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines, creeks and rivers.
If you are isolated and require resupply, contact NSW SES on 132 500.
