UPDATED 2:19pm: Here's the latest information from Douglas Shire Council's Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) meeting at 2pm:

• A number of trees were knocked down across the road north of Daintree River last night but these have now all been cleared

• A large tree went down across the road from the Post Office in Port Douglas last night but this was cleared last night

• Daintree Township is isolated due to flooding at Barratts Creek

• There were concerns that a block of units in Port Douglas may have shifted from its foundations due to a potential sinkhole last night but this was assessed last night and there was no sinkhole and no structural damage

• Two Queensland Fire and Rescue Service swift water rescue teams will remain in Mossman for at least the next 24 hours as a precaution

• The Daintree ferry shut down for about 30 minutes this morning so debris could be removed from the cables. The ferry remains operational.

• The Daintree River remains at moderate flood level with no immediate threat to property

• The Yellow Alert for the marina has been downgraded

• No reports of structural damage to any properties in the Douglas Shire

A lot of rain and a few trees down seems to have been the main impact of Cylone Nathan on the Douglas Shire, while communities further north have suffered more serious conditions. 

According to local reports Cape Tribulation has received about 250 millimetres of rain in the last 24 hours while Daintree Village has received about 170. 

Daintree Village is also cut off by water across the bridge at Barrett Creek, a situation that will likely continue for the next several hours.

Several creeks in the Cape Tribulation area have also been reported as high or flooded at different times but at the moment access to the community from the Cape Tribulation ferry appears clear. 

Douglas Shire Council has reported several felled trees across the shire, which were quickly removed by staff.

Further north, Cooktown has been cut-off completely by flood waters, likely for the next several days. 

The Little Annan and McLeod rivers, plus Leichhardt and Steer Creeks are all flooded out, as is the unsealed coast road leading south toward Cape Tribulation. 

Cook Shire mayor Peter Scott said the town was used to being being flooded in, however. 

“We get this pretty much every year - we’ve got plenty of supplies, fuel and eveything else stockpiled,” he said. 

“In terms of wind we haven’t had much damage because this cyclone’s done exactly what Ita did last year - the wind is coming from the same direction as the Cooktown Breeze, and the town is both sheltered by Mount Cook, plus most of the buildings and structures are designed to deal with it. 

“Our biggest concern at the moment is that if this gears up to a Category 3 like they’re saying it might, it could shift a lot more moisture onshore and we could get localised flooding. 

“If the rain keeps up we could be cut off for the next two or three days, easily - the ground’s pretty much saturated by now and it usually takes a day or two for the water levels to drop back down after the rains end, and the rains are probably going to keep up for some time.”
