Yorkeys Knob beach closed after crocodile sighting

Ah the Joys of FNQ!!!!!

WEDNESDAY BREAKING NEWS: Lifeguards have closed a Cairns northern beach to swimmers after a crocodile was spotted near stinger nets this morning.

A fisherman alerted authorities after seeing the croc, believed to be up to 3m long, lurking in waters just off Yorkeys Knob.

Surf Life Saving Queensland regional manager Colin Sparkes said the beach would remain closed to swimmers until lifeguards were certain the croc had moved on from the area.

Breaking news?

That was two days ago.....

Mind you, crocs are everywhere round Yorkeys, best to go to Port Douglas. Better wind, better crew and no crocs

It was the local croc that lives up the river mouth - spoke to the Yorkies SLSC and he usually comes out for a look rarely as there is plenty of kite boards lost up the river.....
Hahahahaha very funny - Locals just see him as a floating Rail to grind!!!

I thought the Bullsharks out the front of the creek in the murky water were more of a problem.

Yeah, forgot about the sharks and also the kite shop owner fighting ex-employees in the car park.
