Crocodile report in Pumicestone passage, Bribie Island.

The area has previously been surveyed extensively by staff skilled in crocodile survey and identification and there is no evidence of a crocodile being present in the area, such as a confirmed sighting, eye shine, tracks, or slide marks. Given the known range of this species, being north of the Boyne River, near Gladstone, the likelihood of an estuarine crocodile living in the wild in SEQ is extremely low. It is possible that this is a case of mistaken identity and that the observers have seen a shark, turtle, dugong or goanna. No further action at this time.
