FED:Queanbeyan's swollen rivers receding=2

SES spokeswoman Rebecca Ellison urged Queanbeyan residents to remain cautious around floodwaters.

"Despite the height of the river falling overnight, the river is still moving very
fast and is very dangerous," she said.

Emergency services crews were assessing the damage caused by the floods as fast as
possible and would tell evacuated residents when they could return to their homes, Ms
Ellison said.

The Queen's Bridge over the Queanbeyan River has been reopened, however the Morisset
Street and Oaks Estate bridges remain closed.
