An outback cattle station and tourist ranch in WA's north has felt the full force of Cyclone Narelle, with vision emerging of the trail of destruction left by the powerful wind and heavy rain. Bullara Station, located between Exmouth and Coral Bay, experienced what owners describe as unprecedented flooding. The footage shows vast areas of the station submerged under fast-moving water, with infrastructure such as fences and access roads severely impacted. The owners, Edwina and Tim Shallcross, noted that while they are used to seasonal weather, the volume and intensity of water brought by Narelle surpassed previous records, posing significant challenges for livestock management and tourism operations in the immediate future.
