A T-rex lol!
Hey Fred,
There is one that cruises the beach at Cardwell regularly. You can often see it when you pass thru town.
Cheers

One was spotted in the Maroochydore river sunshine coast.
Between xmas and new year....i have heard if it was caught.
The Mary river does have them but they are shy...im sure the farmers have educated them of that.

And another one just got taken in the NT at Cahills Crossing. The crocs just love that restaurant. People just don't think! 8)

Maroochy River is my favourite all time fishing spot,, Down by the big bridge there are some underwater caves,, Up buy the sewage works there are some monster Pike Eels just Opposite the Boat Ramp, I took my mum there one night and she hooked one that was 3/8ths on an inch short of the local record,, Geeze it was bloody wild when I got it to the bank, it came snapping up the beach at me,

I was at Cardwell in June 97 and used that boat ramp, there was a large one there then (20 years ago now). Given the age they live too I reckon it is the same one. It was checking us out as we motored up and down the river (10ft tinny 8)) after it inspected us at the boat ramp one day we decided enough was enough and left him to it.

Hey Old Fred,
I've had a few encounters up there myself. The wife and I with our 9 month old son have been on Corroboree Billabong in a 12' punt but we were lucky not to be near any but years later in a 4.45mtr tinny have been stalked by quite a few. I also agree with you about the feeding ban.
Cheers
