Ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily floods outback Queensland, forcing evacuations and road closures​

4 hours ago​


Evacuations have been carried out and a major arterial road has closed as ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily continues to dump significant rain on Queensland's north-west.

While most of the region avoided heavy rain, properties in and around McKinlay and Kynuna were inundated with between 400 millimetres and 500mm of rain over the past 48 hours.

That is more rain than most properties receive in a year, according to locals.

Six people were evacuated from a cattle station at Kynuna on Monday afternoon.

The Flinders Highway — a major transport route connecting western Queensland with the coast — was also closed near McKinlay.

"Expect the Flinders Highway to be cut off for some time. In early 2023, the road was cut for about a week and this time we've had more rainfall," Superintendent Tom Armitt of the Mount Isa Police District said.

Police urged residents in the McKinlay and Kynuna areas to prepare for further evacuations with floodwater expected to rise over the coming days.

"It does not look like Kirrily is moving anywhere soon and we expect heavy rain to continue over the next 48 hours," Superintendent Armitt said on Monday afternoon.

"We need people to be aware that more rain is coming. They need to make assessments about their safety and whether it is sustainable to stay on their properties."
