The outback town of Moomba has been isolated by floodwaters flowing down the Strzelecki Creek in the far north-east of South Australia.
The Transport Department says the creek has cut the Strzelecki Track, which is the main road to Moomba.
Department official Peter Short says energy producer Santos is putting in alternative private roads to get access to its facilities in the area.
Mr Short says the creek is up to 200 metres wide at the crossing and a third flood front on its way from Queensland will delay road repairs for at least two months.
“This looks like it's the biggest one of the three so far and the images show it's about 250 kilometres long so, you know, it is going to be some time before we can get into these locations and actually start making repairs,” he said.
