Aerial photographs captured this week highlight the force of the floodwaters that have torn through several inland NSW communities since the weekend.
Taken by Nearmap on Tuesday, November 15 , the photos show how houses have shifted, roads have been smashed and water has turned black.
Condobolin on the Lachlan River is already experiencing its worst flood on record, and there are fears it could still get worse today and tomorrow.
From above the water appears to be black, showing what authorities and residents are up against as they work to build a makeshift levee to try and protect the town's central business district.
Further upstream at Forbes most of the town has been evacuated for the third time in as many weeks, either due to the threat of inundation or loss of access to essential services.
The slider image above (use your cursor or finger to change the before-and-after views) shows the town's central business district was firmly within the path of Lake Forbes, which had well and truly burst its bank amid major flooding in the Lachlan River.
For the region's rural communities, severe flooding has become a regular occurrence.
The floodwaters have caused havoc on roads right across the state's inland, including at Bathurst where a near record peak in the Macquarie River on Monday caused several access points to be closed.
Further west at Canowindra, receding floodwaters from the Belubula River have began to reveal the extent of the damage to one of the town's major roads.
While in other towns like Eugowra, the State Emergency Service are expected to stay for weeks to help locals get their lives back to some sort of normal, after catastrophic flash floods on Monday.
From the air you can see how the sheer force of the water has moved entire homes and left cars strewn around the town.
