Despite the croc appearing to be of no immediate danger to the public, Paul assured locals he will be keeping an eye on it.
“If he’s doing it frequently we might have to get him moved on,” he explained.
Paul also said the croc has been in the area for quite a while but usually resides 100 metres up the river.
Crocodiles can be found in freshwater and saltwater locations along the coast and inland including, rivers and creeks, swamps, lagoons, waterholes, beaches, oceans and offshore of islands too.
It’s important to stay Crocwise in Croc Country, but especially after floods as they can migrate to locations, they never had access to before.
If you see a crocodile in report it to the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation by using the QWildlife app, by accessing the sighting report online or by calling 1300 130 372.
Being Crocwise starts with three simple steps:
• Keep out of the water
• Stay more than 5 metres away from the water’s edge
• Keep a sturdy object between yourself and the water
