Damage is extensive in a remote town hit by Western Australia's worst flooding, as the receding waters start revealing the extent of the devastation.
The flood waters peaked in Fitzroy Crossing at a record 15.81m late on Wednesday, with mass evacuations in and around the remote town.
Long-term resident and mechanic Dwayne Ben says the water rose further and faster than any other flood he had seen, catching many people, including himself, by surprise.
