Previous forecasts indicate that anywhere between 10-25mm could have fallen, with a total of 65.8mm having fallen in Bathurst since Wednesday, November 22.
There had also been a minor flood warning for Bathurst on Wednesday, because of potential forecasts upstream of the Macquarie River.
That minor flood warning remains in place, however, the Macquarie River at Bathurst remains almost two metres short of the minor flood level.
Further rainfall on Thursday is likely to be the last of major falls for the coming week, with the mercury set to rise significantly from December 5 onwards.
