In some of the most remote parts of Australia, not having access to fresh produce or not having your mail delivered for weeks at a time can be a normal part of life.

But the often dirt roads which lead to a number of the territory's remote communities have now been cut off for months because of heavy rain from ex-cyclone Ellie late last year.
