Should be OK..??
And the Hawksebury has quite a wide flood plain below base level around there so yes, you'd expect that it would be okay.

I'm pretty sure that it remained open throughout the 1990 flood. I'm not sure how it fared in the '78 flood - I think that was the last 'once in a century' flood they've experienced in the last 50 years.
