Mattresses, blankets and other precious items are being packed tight into utes in the Gulf of Carpentaria town of Borroloola as residents flee ahead of Cyclone Trevor's arrival.

If the cyclone tracks on the path that is predicted, it could slam into the town at full force as a category four storm system on Saturday.
"Most of them are getting evacuated — the babies, the mums and the elderly," resident Nola Anderson said.
"Others that can drive out are driving out now.”
Fuel vouchers have been distributed by a Borroloola Aboriginal organisation to help people escape the impending storm system.
