4-Metre Crocodile Spotted Sunning It Up At Yeppoon

A timely reminder for Central Queensland beach goers to be on the look-out after a 'large crocodile' was sighted at Farnborough Beach near Yeppoon.

The Department of Environment said the croc spotted on Thursday morning is estimated to be between 3.5 and 4 metres long.

"It's the biggest one we've seen on the coast here for a little while, but it's not an unusual length for a crocodile"
