in the Kimberley region of Western Australia southwest of Darwin. It is likely that this low was a continuation of the low that formed in the Gulf of Carpentaria, though TCWC Perth did not explicitly state this. The low remained inland as it continued to move westwards into the eastern Pilbara and finally dissipated on 28 February. Heavy rainfall caused the water level in the Fitzroy River to rise to near-record levels, with daily rainfall totals exceeding 100 mm. Many towns and communities, including Kununurra, were isolated by floodwaters, and several Aboriginal communities were evacuated. Significant stock losses occurred in the area. Bonney Downs in the Pilbara recorded a daily rainfall total of 229 mm on 27 February.
