Rangers are working to try and trap a 4-metre crocodile lurking upstream from a recreational water sports area in the Fitzroy River at Rockhampton.
The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service this week confirmed the crocodile was in the Pink Lily area, about 10 kilometres upstream from the barrage.
"In response to crocodile sighting reports, wildlife officers conducted multiple, comprehensive spotlight surveys of the Fitzroy River above the barrage in April and May," senior wildlife officer Josh Morris said.
