Parts of Queensland are bracing for flash flooding and abnormally high tides as Cyclone Kimi continues its 'erratic' movement.
The cyclone has weakened to a tropical low off far North Queensland but the Bureau of Meteorology says heavy rainfall is still expected to lash the region.
'Heavy rainfall with the potential to produce flash flooding and major river flooding may still affect coastal areas between Innisfail and Bowen on Tuesday and Wednesday if the remnant low moves closer to the coast,' the Bureau said.
Cyclone Kimi was about 135km from Townsville about 4am AEST on Tuesday, with winds of 65km/h and gusts up to 95km/h.
