A body believed to be that of a woman who went missing in flood waters in central-west New South Wales has been found, and the Murray River has peaked at Echuca, as flood emergencies unfold across eastern Australia.
The 28-year-old woman and three other people were travelling in a car that was swept off a causeway at Gulgong, near Mudgee, on Sunday evening. The driver and two passengers escaped the vehicle and made their way to safety, according to police.
