Hinton Isolated By Flooding


SES Volunteers will ferry supplies to hundreds of residents trapped by floodwater at Hinton.

It could be two or three days before the water levels recede.

While the SES will bring groceries and other essential supplies, they won't be operating a ferry service for residents due to public liability issues.

The service says flood-bound residents are perfectly safe and evacuations are not needed.
Hinton residents needing essential food and supplies can leave orders with the Victoria Hotel.
The SES is making two trips each day by flood boat to deliver orders to the hotel.
