26 Oct – 2 NovBelow minorNo classes4 not reportingHeight is each gauge against its OWN normal — the 90 days ending a month ago, so the water it is being compared with is not this event. The dotted line is that normal, the next line up its 90th percentile. Not metres, which differ by gauge. Colour is the flood class it has crossed. Dashed ring = too little record to place.

About this gauge

Peel at Taroona (gauge 419081) measures the Peel River in New South Wales. The next verified gauge upstream is Tamworth W/S. Downstream, the next verified gauge is Chaffey Outlet. More gauges on this river are known but awaiting verification, and travel-time estimates will appear once reach calibration has been reviewed.

Floodway shows levels from the Bureau of Meteorology’s national water data service, compared against the Bureau’s flood classifications for this location. During events, always follow official BoM flood warnings and VicSES advice.

Heights at this gauge are local gauge height (LGH). Local gauge height is measured from a datum set at this site, so a reading here is not directly comparable with one at another gauge. Drainage basin: NAMOI RIVER.
