<p>Cairns Airport was closed on Monday due to flooding and authorities were concerned that the city of 160,000 people will lose drinking water.</p>
<p>While rain was easing in Cairns, severe weather warnings were in place in nearby Port Douglas, Daintree, Cooktown, Wujal Wujal and Hope Vale, with more rain forecast.</p>
<p>Katarina Carroll, commissioner of Queensland state Police, described the flooding as “absolutely devastating”.</p>
<p>She told reporters: “Last night, we had an extraordinarily challenging, challenging evening, rescuing some 300 people.”</p>
<p>There were no deaths or serious injuries, she said.</p>
<p>All 300 residents would be evacuated by helicopter from the Aboriginal community of Wujal Wujal, where nine adults and a seven-year-old child spent hours overnight on a hospital roof, officials said.</p>
<p>A Category 2 tropical cyclone passed close by Wujal Wujal on Wednesday. But while strong winds did little damage to the community, heavy rains have continued to lash the region.</p>
<p>Roads and railway lines were cut, communities were isolated and 14,000 homes and businesses were without power on Monday.</p>
