Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is joining Premier Mark McGowan to witness first-hand the devastation wrought by the once-in-a-century flood to the Kimberly region in Western Australia.

The tour will be centred around Fitzroy Crossing, a small desert town that bore the brunt of the flood waters dumped by ex-tropical cyclone Ellie.
