00:00We are seeing some of those outback roads becoming quite muddy, becoming impassable,

00:07potentially causing some long delays and long detours that need to be made as residents

00:13in those areas try to get around the rain.

00:15We do still have flood watches, I should say, in place for the Sturt Creek, the Tanami Desert

00:22and the Western Desert District, which kind of span the border of Western Australia and

00:28Northern Territory.

00:29So it's basically just reminding us that the rainfall could have these flooding impacts,

00:33not just today, but over the next couple of days as well.
