The family of four were being helped from their flooded Lower Colo home on Tuesday afternoon when the NSW State Emergency Service boat they were in overturned as it approached Sackville Ferry Road.

Other SES units and Marine Rescue rushed to the scene to rescue the family and three SES personnel on board and ferried them to safety on dry land.

Dramatic footage shows two young girls being carried to shore by SES members, where they were examined by paramedics.

The little girls were seen huddled with their relieved parents wrapped in rescue blankets before the shaken but uninjured family were ushered into a waiting bus.

SES commissioner Carlene York praised the efforts of emergency personnel involved.

‘We had to rely solely in boats, which when the river is in flood can be a dangerous exercise,’ she told reporters at the scene 

‘It’s particularly dangerous in a fast flowing river… the forces of nature can take over.’ 

NSW SES has since suspended helicopter and boat evacuations along the Colo River.

The river at Upper Colo is currently peaking at 14.62m and not currently expected to rise any further.

‘NSW SES advises along the Colo River to remain vigilant, monitor the situation and in the event that river levels begin to rise again. 

It’s understood 200 are still stranded along the swollen Colo River.

Around 18,000 NSW residents have evacuated their homes in the last six days, with another 15,000 warned to be on stand-by to do the same.
