A Mackay resident says he is concerned about families swimming at Eimeo Beach after a four-metre crocodile was spotted in the area several times. “Mackay Conservation Group will be calling on the committee to reject fearmongering and rely on the clear scientific evidence when making its recommendation on the proposed law.” From the 1940s to 1970s crocodiles were killed in large numbers, mostly by hunters hoping to cash in on high international prices for crocodile skin. The last sighting was in November last year at Blacks Beach. In the first eight months of this year more than 25 crocodiles were spotted in places like the Mackay Harbour, Bloomsbury, Bucasia and even Koumala. There is a crocodile swimming around the Lamberts Beach area at Slade Point. Rangers search for crocodile spotted at Eimeo Creek in Mackay's Northern Beaches By Melissa Maddison Wed 25 Feb 2015, 2:01 PM AEDT Wildlife officers will this week try to spot a four-metre crocodile which has been seen in Mackay's Northern Beaches in north Queensland. The next warning is of possible strong currents, so that’s sensible advice as well. Every day in Mackay selected beaches are dragged with nets for all kinds of marine stingers and if just one is found, the beach is closed for 24 hours. CROCODILES have been spotted at many Mackay locations, including three sightings last year.

Between 1945 and 1970 the crocodiles were hunted for their skin and the risk for humans being attacked. The population of crocodiles in Australia is around 150,000 salties and over 100,000 Freshwaters (NT government website).But the population has not always been so high. On Facebook, police added: “MACKAY! The largest Saltwater Croc ever seen/caught or killed in Mackay was a 10.3metre crawled out the Pioneer River in the 1950s sometime around 1956.
