A helicopter has been called in to rescue two men stranded by floodwaters in the Kimberley.
The men, aged 42 and 23, had been doing pest management in communities along the Gibb River Road when they activated their car's distress signal on Saturday morning.
Members of the Yulumbu Community assisting with the search found the men, stuck with their vehicle which is bogged in sand and cut off from rescuers by flood waters due to the heavy rain in the region.
