Solid wet season is an enormous benefit

Peter Camp, Kalyeeda station, near Fitzroy Crossing said they were experiencing unusually high rainfall this wet season.

"Since the first of December we have had more than 800 millimetres here," Mr Camp said.

"The average rainfall here at Kalyeeda is 450mm."

Mr Camp said that amount of rain would have an enormous benefit for the rest of the year for cattle producers.

"It's not often a good season and good prices match up," he said.

"It sure is a vast change from last year.

"It has been wet throughout WA, here in the north, in the south now and also in the Pilbara, so it's shaping up to be a good year for everyone."

Mr Camp said the Fitzroy River was full, but levels had not risen to create major flooding, which was a bonus for pastoralists.

Widespread rainfall was recorded in the Fitzroy River catchment by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) and heavy rainfall is expected his week.

The Fitzroy River at Fitzroy Crossing peaked at 10.72 metres, below the moderate flood level (11.00m) on Saturday.

The Fitzroy River at Fitzroy Crossing is likely to remain below the minor flood level, however, renewed rises exceeding the minor flood level are possible based on the recorded and forecast rainfall.

Mr Camp said this was a good sign.

"The river has been kind to us," he said.

"The river was up about 11m over Christmas and has been fluctuating at about 10.2m.

"The record level was about 12.2m - which causes some trouble.

"But we are not at the end of the wet season yet."

Mr Camp said station staff had used a helicopter for the past four days to get to some fencing that had been damaged by the wet weather.

BoM issued flood warnings for the Northern and Western Kimberley district, including the Fitzroy Crossing region.

BoM expected rivers to rise and flooding to continue in the North Kimberley district this week.

Over the weekend, about 81mm was recorded in the North Kimberley district, with subsequent heavy rainfall forecast to continue during the week.

BoM expected river catchments in the North Kimberley district to continue to rise, including Keep River, Pentecost River, Drysdale River and King Edward River.

With more than 90mm falling in the West Kimberley district over the weekend, rivers including the Prince Regent River, Isdell River, Lennard River and Cape Leveque coast, water levels are expected to rise.
