A one-in-50-year flood has hit a remote town in the Northern Territory as authorities warn more rain is on the way for the rest of the state.
In the span of six hours, 157mm of rain inundated the town of Timber Creek, around 300km southwest of Katherine.
Everyone in the remote community has been accounted for although a number of people had to be rescued from flood waters, NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles said on Saturday.
