From this morning's The Australian:

THE government has warned Australians not to travel to Tokyo or to anywhere on Honshu Island, north of the Japanese capital, because of uncertainty over the nuclear power stations battered by the earthquake and tsunami.

After a meeting of the National Security Committee of Cabinet in Canberra last night, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade raised its travel warning for northern Honshu to its highest level: "Do not travel."

"Australians should not travel to Tokyo and northern Honshu unless their presence in Japan is essential," said the advice issued at about 11pm. "Australians in these areas should leave unless their presence in Japan is essential."

The overall level of the advice for Japan has increased to: "Exercise a high degree of caution."
