Further details on WA Flood event in the Kimberley region.

🛶 Flooding has caused the closure of a 700km section of the Great Northern Highway between Broome and Halls Creek.
🚁 Emergency evacuations continuing by helicopter, especially remote indigenous communities. Also food drops to now isolated homestead stations and townships.
