The destructive core of severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor has made landfall in the Gulf of Carpentia after predictions it could cross the coast between Port McArthur and the Northern Territory and Queensland border.

Bureau of Meteorology expected the category 4 cyclone to bring very destructive winds, dangerous storm tides and very dangerous flooding in its wake.

The centre of Tropical Cyclone Trevor was just inland of the southern coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria and dangerous conditions would extend inland during Saturday.
