CYCLONE ALFRED UPDATE.......

The bridge over the McArthur River at Borroloola has been inundated by floodwater.

 Retired fisherman Greg Quail lives near King Ash Bay on the banks of the McArthur River.

As he spoke to ABC Rural on Monday morning, water was almost at his front door.

"We've still got torrential rain. It has been raining since the day before yesterday [Saturday]. It hasn't even stopped once," Mr Quail said.

"The river at the moment is six foot [1.8 metres] from the door, but I would say it will be through here in another couple of hours.
