Coral Bay faces financial wipeout after Cyclone Narelle
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Cyclone Narelle has left the Western Australian tourist town of Coral Bay cut off during peak Easter season, with flooded access roads preventing visitors from reaching the destination. The town faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses from mass cancellations, damaged buildings, low food supplies, and limited fuel, with April alone worth $140 million and 800 jobs to regional WA. Local businesses and workers are struggling with lost income as the community races to repair damage and reopen before the school holidays.
