More than 1,000 people from the Northern Territory communities in the Gulf of Carpentaria are in evacuation centres this morning in Katherine and Darwin, safe from cyclone Trevor.
It is expected that Cyclone Trevor will make landfall tomorrow, in what the Bureau of Meteorology forecast to be a “severe impact in the south-western Gulf of Carpentaria coast.”
Hundreds of people have been given emergency accomodation at the Darwin Showgrounds after being flown in from Groote Eylandt and the Borroloola areas.
The Australian Defence Force flew in the last of the evacuees into Darwin last night, with a further 400 people in Groote Eylandt told to take shelter in “strong houses” today.
