Queensland wildlife rangers are searching waterways on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) off Brisbane after the sighting of a large saltwater crocodile on Wednesday and further reports of sightings on the mainland on Thursday.
Local tour operator Mark Jones said he spotted the crocodile at the springs on Wednesday at 7.45am while he was starting his tour.
"The customer was leading out of the creek and we stopped outside the creek and then started talking about the location," he recounted.
