Western Australia's South West is bracing for flooding as rivers continue to swell following record rainfall in the state, with storms claiming two lives on the weekend.
The Coblinine River is flowing into Lake Dumbleyung in WA's South West.
Further south-west at Bridgetown, the river is currently 0.17 metres' high but could swell dramatically to at least 3.5 metres on Thursday, triggering a moderate flood warning.
The Blackwood River spills onto the Boyup Brook-Arthur River Road in the vicinity of Dinninup, about 280km south-east of Perth.
Makeshift levees have been constructed on the banks of Blackwood River in Boyup Brook in an attempt to stop water impacting on an annual country music festival.
Event organiser Sharon Winter said she never expected flooding to be a problem in February.
"I've been involved for 21 years and I've never experienced this," she said.
"Without the people building this wall, this whole area would definitely be underwater."
