An emergency declaration has been signed by the Northern Territory chief minister for multiple Gregory district communities as flood waters force hundreds to evacuate – with one young evacuee facing a crocodile in the process.
The 17-year-old boy was bitten on the leg by a small crocodile and treated for his injuries at the Kalkarindji clinic in Katherine.
Severe weather warnings remain in place as a tropical low continues to wreak havoc across the territory.
