Photographs capture extent of floods in north-west NSW

The Namoi then flows north-west through Narrabri and out to Wee Waa. The small cotton town is ringed by a levee, protecting the area from rising waters.

On Thursday, residents flocked to the town's only supermarket to stock up on pasta and canned food. But now, locals say it's pretty quiet. They're used to water coming and going. The busiest time of day is morning and evening when everyone drives to check the flood levels, which have now reached 7.30 metres.

The town is now encircled by water and the Bureau of Meteorology predicts it will stay above the major flood level for the next week.
