The biggest separate floods here in the last 5 years. Each row is one event's highest reading. Crests within a fortnight of each other are one flood arriving and receding, not two. Pick one to lay it over the chart. Readings before 2022 are left out for a second reason: this gauge’s levels step by more than a metre at that point, which is its datum moving rather than the river, so earlier heights are not comparable with these.

About this gauge

Murray at Colignan (gauge 414207) measures the Murray River in New South Wales. The next verified gauge upstream is Euston. Downstream, the next verified gauge is L10 Wentworth. 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) — gauge zero sits at 35.062 m. 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: MALLEE.

Named floods

Peaks are computed from the readings stored for this gauge over each named event window — verify against official records before relying on them (docs/VERIFICATION.md §5).
