Emergency services said 11 people had been rescued overnight because of vehicles in floodwater.

A pregnant woman had to be airlifted from Woodlawn near Lismore.

Some communities in the Bellinger Valley and the Upper Macleay remain isolated with minor flooding forcing the closure of low lying bridges.

Mid North Coast State Emergency Service (SES) spokesman Steve Lawrence said over the last two days volunteers have been kept very busy.
