Emergency crews have been sent to the north Queensland town of Cardwell, where cyclone-damaged homes have been swamped by flash floods.
Roads in and out of Cardwell are closed, and the Bruce Hiighway further north is cut around Tully and Ingham.
Police say they are frustrated some motorists are ignoring warnings to stay off the roads.
More than 200 millimetres of rain has fallen at Tully, Ingham and Cardwell, flooding homes and roads just a month after Cyclone Yasi caused widespread damage.
Euramo, south of Tully, received 500mm of rain in the past few days.
