A school in northern Victoria was evacuated amid concerns about the integrity of a nearby flood levee.
Emergency Victoria strongly advised people in and near the Koondrook Primary School to evacuate due to floodwaters encroaching towards the top of the levee and the school's location on an effective riverside peninsula.
"There's a danger that if the levee is breached, water could isolate the school to become an island and then it might be hard to get people off there," a Victorian State Emergency Service spokesman told AAP.
