Parts of the city adjacent to the river have sunk, creating a number of places likely to flood when there are extremely high tides and/or heavy and prolonged rain. Higher than normal tides are expected on Sunday and Monday.
These photographs show the preparations being put in place along a small part of Dallington Terrace, just above the Dallington Bridge. Similar preparations are going on in other parts of the Eastern suburbs, as a precaution.
