The Bureau of Meteorology has installed a weather radar in the remote community of Warruwi on South Goulburn Island in the Northern Territory. Situated off the coast of Arnhem Land, the Goulburn Islands are a real hot spot for cyclones, and were severely damaged by Cyclone Monica in 2006.

However, the region has been a black-spot in terms of coverage and monitoring for the weather bureau - until now. Warruwi Elder, Bunug Galaminda, says the official opening has been a day of celebration for the community.
