Queensland floods: Australia airport submerged and crocodiles seen after record rain | BBC News


Flash floods in north Queensland have led to an entire town being evacuated and people trapped on a hospital roof.

Thousands have been evacuated but others remain stranded, in what authorities expect to be the Australian region’s worst-ever flood.

Extreme weather driven by a tropical cyclone has dumped a year’s worth of rain on some areas.

Images show planes submerged at Cairns airport, a crocodile seen in the middle of a town, and people fleeing in boats.
