A number of waterways flow around The Shepparton, Mooroopna & Kialla Area

• Goulburn River

• Broken River

• Seven Creeks

• Castle Creek

When the Broken River is in flood, floodwater heads east to the East Goulburn Main Channel and then north West towards Tallygaroopna where the flood waters then meet the local creeks.

In 2012 rainfall in excess of 300mm bought flash flooding to Tallygaroopna as the water moved into the river systems.

In the second worst flood (1993) no houses received above floor flooding and was caused by slow moving flood water from the broken River

The worse flood (2012) 5 houses were subject to above floor flooding and was caused by 300mm of rain over 3 days. 

Majority of Properties in the area have satisfactory egress in the event of a flood.
