WA farmers and locals have been forced to rally as floodwaters continue to wreak havoc across the state.
The week's downpour has totalled up to 300 millimetres, and emergency service flood warnings have remained active since Sunday.

Many farmers have been forced to use jet skis and dinghies in order to save their livestock from drowning and Great Southern local Éimear Guidera and partner helped to pull a stranded ram and quad bike from the her paddock on Monday morning.
"He's an old ram that got stuck in some quick sand and was pulled out to safety," she said.
"We pulled him out by hand, onto the dry area and then he walked back into the paddock. The quad bike was pulled out with a ute and rope.
"He's back with his buddies and doing fine."
The Jerdacuttup River and Ravensthorpe region are experiencing major floods, and Main Roads WA had continued to issue cautionary advice to those attempting to travel in the region.
"Main Roads and the Shire of Ravensthorpe have worked together to create a traffic detour of the closed section of South Coast Highway at Phillips River just west of Ravensthorpe where a bridge was destroyed by flood waters," a spokesperson said.

The detour stretches 80 kilometres and South Coast Highway will remain closed due to the damage to the Jerdacuttup Bridge, the Oldfield River Bridge and a culvert at Hatfield Road.
Other emergency flood warnings are still in place for parts of the Great Southern region, the Midwest Gascoyne and parts of the Pilbara.
