About 150 people have been evacuated from the Indigenous community of Beswick, east of Katherine in the Northern Territory, after the flooding Waterhouse River inundated the lower part of town.
Evacuees have spent the past two nights in the local school.
Mal Fox, from the Roper Gulf Shire, said water had gone through about six homes, but the damage was expected to be minimal.
“We evacuated everyone on Sunday up to the new suburb to the school and we were cut off from the bottom suburb,” Mr Fox said.
