Central Western Daily photographer Carla Freedman traveled over to Eugowra on Wednesday.
She captured these incredible photos of both the heartache suffered, as well as the absolute good in people who are already rolling their sleeves up to begin the clean-up.
Cabonne Shire mayor Kevin Beatty on Tuesday said the aftermath of the flood looked more like a bomb had gone off in the centre of town.
On Thursday it was revealed members of the NSW SES Burwood Unit had arrived to aid the recovery in Eugowra.
They detailed the very confronting scenes on the ground and assisted the community with searching, flood rescue and rapid damage assessment of all properties.
"The scenes we saw when driving into Eugowra were some of the worst we have ever seen, the town looked like it had been hit by an inland tsunami," Unit Commander and Eugowra Sector Commander Christian Young said.
"I commend the bravery and efforts of all locals and emergency services who saved multiple lives in very difficult circumstances. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones and property".
