    Evacuations in Australia's Northern Territories for a second time within weeks as water levels rise

    Evacuations in Australia's Northern Territories for a second time within weeks as water levels rise


    Hundreds of residents evacuated from Daly River in early February have this time been flown out by helicopter.

    Around 200 members of the flood-hit Aboriginal community of Palumpa have also been evacuated - to a Darwin stadium - by fixed-wing aircraft today.

    Almost all of Queensland's coastline is under flood alert as a tropical low continues to move inland.

    The town of Katherine is under threat as waters rise above major flood levels.
