Crocodiles roaming main streets as flooding hits Far North Queensland

Crocodiles have been spotted swimming through main streets as floodwaters hit Far North Queensland.

Footage captured a crocodile catcher in action after locals reported sightings of the animal exploring the town of Ingham.

Other wildlife rescues have been underway including wallabies and livestock.

The flooding comes after the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Jasper brought months’ worth of rain in just a few hours.

The flooding has left around 14,000 homes and businesses without power.

Queensland is getting its deluges of wet weather like it used to 50 years ago. What a lot of people dont understand is that 50 years later, there are 10 x more people living in queensland and Australia meaning more people building in areas once considered marginal to weather conditions and more statistics showing people in distress.

Oh Dear. Sky News at it was ONE croc and it was not in the Main Street. I don't know why things have to be "Dramatized" to this level. Queenslanders know what to

Just by the host referring to a tinny as a dinghy just goes to show how out of touch the people in the media and city dwellers in general are

Wait what???? Doesn't every australian have a crocodile as a pet???

*Scenery and floodwaters looks like a South Florida hurricane/cyclone, except even worse. Mostly alligators here, but there's also a species of native crocodile. Anyway, lots of fun for one and all.*

Far North Queensland, home of rainforest’s - Exactly, rainforests! That’s why rainforests are there, RAIN, back to the way it use to be ! Just because all the southerners have moved there doesn’t mean it’s knew.
