A few days ago a 3m salt water croc was spotted a few times at near Dunwich, South Straddie.
A naturalist said it's a one off, but you know how it is. It always starts with just one. Then before you know it windsurfing in the bay is like wildebeest crossing the Zambezi.
So keep your eyes open. Logs in the water aren't necessarily logs.
I thought the sightings were at North Stradbroke. You needn't worry. Your Premier will spend whatever it takes to find that croc. Once found, I hear it will be relocated back up north. Funny that, any talk of doing anything up north when a croc makes the headlines is met with " it's their natural habitat".

One!
Looks like you missed that biology lesson at school.
Still remember every one laughing when i said they will come down there,the waters to cold they said,
Thats just the only one you have seen, There will be more,
They can and have roamed along way south Mature Crocs are occasionally spotted in the open ocean far from land up north. But they need consistently warm conditions( over 25c I think) for the buried eggs to mature and hatch.
So they can visit but not populate
It doesn't help that a croc might live 100+ years tho!

We have a well known crocodile park here on the Sunshine Coast. I don't think that they alter any of the climatic conditions for the pond enclosures where their big crocs live. If this is so, I am assuming that it would be possible for wild crocs to migrate here and breed. It would require a compatible male and female which may not be as easy as it sounds.

weren't they found as far south as Lismore once upon a time?
