Heavy rainfall in the northern part of the basin is flowing down to South Australia, creating a high river event in that part of the Murray. Cadell General Store proprietor Deborah Bergen said her business relied on summer trade and she was worried about what floodwaters moving down from the north could mean for the town.
General manager Pamela Canavan says it is important to remember the flood advice is just a warning at this stage and there is no immediate threat to river communities or visitors.
