The cafe at Kendall, about 30 minutes south of Port Macquarie, was inundated with floodwater after the Camden Haven River burst its bank in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Despite a committed effort by locals and friends to sandbag and protect the shop from the rising river levels, nothing could hold back the wall of water.
