The West Australian town of Kalbarri has suffered widespread damage in the wake of tropical cyclone Seroja, which tore across the midwest coast overnight.
Seroja made landfall south of the town, about 8 p.m. on Sunday, as a category three storm with wind gusts up to 170 km/h.
Kalbarri, which lies 580 kilometres north of Perth, is home to about 1,400 people.
“I’ve never experienced anything in my life like we experienced last night,” resident and caravan park manager Debbie Major told ABC television on Monday.
“It’s only a small town … half of it has been flattened.”

Heavy rain batters Australia's east coast, flash floods force road closures

"We've had very heavy rainfall falling in a very short amount of time and on some very wet catchment areas ... that has led to rapid river rises and flash flooding," Agata Imielska from the Bureau of Meteorology said.
More than 500mm of rainfall has been recorded in the region across the Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast in just four days.
The Wilsons River near Lismore has now peaked at 8.2m – higher than February but lower during cyclone Debbie in 2017.
In Queensland, the town of Springbrook has recorded over 900mm of rain this week after 214mm fell in the last 24 hours.
