As flooding in parts of Australia looks set to worsen, local authorities have warned residents to be wary of local wildlife – crocodiles and snakes included - entering their homes.
Queensland is experiencing record-breaking floods as The Gregory River continues to swell, with its peak reaching 12.3 metres. This almost doubled a previous record of 6.78 metres in 2011, with residents in the remote town of Burketown warned to restrict their movements due to crocodile-flooded waters.
