Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Premier Mark McGowan toured the Kimberly on Monday to see firsthand, the true destruction and devastation of the Fitzroy Crossing floods.

It’s estimated that 100 homes in the Fitzroy and surrounding areas have been damaged, where residents have been evacuated to emergency centres.

Mark McGowan told 6PR Mornings host Gary Adshead that the quality of the evacuation centres are ‘not perfect.’

“It’s basically a gym with beds in it, it’s not good and people want to get back to their homes so that’s why the major activity, including food relief, is getting those houses assessed, so we can try get people back home,” McGowan said.

Recovery efforts have begun in the desert town of Fitzroy Crossing, however repairs of the roads and the Fitzroy bridge could take years to fix.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if getting the bridge back is in the years, the bridge collapsed at one end, it almost looks like it was bombed – rebuilding the bridge is going to take a long time.”
