Emergency services have evacuated four children and an adult from a remote area of south-east NSW, as communities continue to be cut off by flooding.
Flooding has impacted some low-lying areas in the Eurobodalla, causing local emergency services to deliver food and supplies via helicopter.
The Westpac Life Saving Helicopter from Moruya, along with SES crews and NSW Police, have been delivering goods to three separate locations in the Yadboro Flats region on the Clyde River, north of Batemans Bay, since Friday.
"People were cut off due to the flood waters, they were at no risk but they couldn't get out and were running low on supplies," Shane Daw, Westpac helicopter general manager, said.
"We did three missions into that [Yadboro] location."
It comes as evacuation orders have been issued for parts of New South Wales, with more than 650 calls for help and 27 flood rescues across the state during the past 24 hours.
One of the stranded campers in the Yadboro Flats region, Angela Webster, said mobile signal was also an issue, and texted the ABC a description of the situation.
She said she was part of one camping group consisting of more than 100 kids and adults who had travelled to the region for the school holidays.
"It's easier to keep spirits up now the rain has stopped, but hygiene is a challenge," she wrote.
"There's no clean clothes, and everything is wet and there is so much mud.
"We came in for a three-and-a-half-day trip and this is now day eight."
Emergency services have also been conducting welfare checks with a number of isolated families in the Bendethera Valley, in the remote area of Deua, west of Moruya.
The Westpac helicopter evacuated four children and one adult this morning from a site in the region, and provided supplies to the two adults who remained.
"The main reason we got those people out is because they had already been stuck in this location for three to four days," Mr Daw said.
"There's two adults which will remain behind and they're in a safe area and are waiting for the floods to subside so they can bring their vehicles back out."
Surprising spring snow
The latest weather event has also brought an unexpected snow dump to the NSW Snowy Mountains.
Although it's not unheard of to experience snowfall in spring, some residents said it was surprising to see this much in October.
"There's about five inches of snow covering everything," Deb Chippendale, from Nimmitabel, said.
"I've never seen this much snow this late in the year so I was pretty shocked."
Traffic in Nimmitabel and Cooma is expected to pick up today as tourists visiting the coast head home on the last day of school holidays.
Ms Chippendale has described the event as "pretty unusual", especially given that temperatures are still quite mild.
"To us, it's not really that cold," she said.
"I went to bed last night without the fire on at home ... I haven't had a beanie on either.
"Who would have thought we'd be in snow watch at the beginning of October — so who knows what Christmas will be like!"
