‘Northern Rivers and beyond had been hit by the worst floods in history. People have spent hours waiting on rooftops to be rescue,’ Elsa wrote.

‘Thanks to all those who are able to help save people and animals stranded by the floodwaters, you are the real hero’s.’

She continued: ‘So amazing to watch how everyone pulls together in a disaster and helps the community. Our hearts go out to those affected by the floods. Stay safe.’ 

Countless towns in Northern NSW and Queensland have been left devastated by catastrophic floods in recent days, with the clean up effort only now able to begin in some areas while others remain submerged.

Floodwaters are easing but the state is not out of danger yet as attention turns to the recovery effort ahead of more bad weather forecast for the weekend. 

More than 280 Australian Defence Force members are being deployed to support the clean-up, working alongside about 600 police and emergency crew members. 

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the state has a mammoth task ahead and “it is vital we get boots on the ground to begin the immense recovery process”. 

While the Premier has focused on the recovery he acknowledged the disaster is not yet over.

Using her platform: 'So amazing to watch how everyone pulls together in a disaster and helps the community. Our hearts go out to those affected by the floods. Stay safe,' Elsa wrote

NSW SES Commissioner Carlene York gave a similar warning.

“We are not past the danger period yet. The rivers are very high, fast-flowing,” NSW SES Commissioner Carlene York said. 

Over the next four days parts of NSW could see up to 100mm of rain and parts of the Hunter up to 150mm with severe thunderstorms, heavy rains and damaging winds forecast, said the BoM.

The estimated current cost of claims across Queensland and NSW is now just over $1 billion, the Insurance Council of Australia said on Friday.
