🐊 Swimming in Croc Country? Be Crocwise before you visit the water Swimming in Croc Country – even a quick dip - puts you at risk of a crocodile attack. The only way to guarantee your safety is to stay out of the water. But if you choose to risk swimming: 📍 Stick to patrolled beaches and always swim between the flags—lifeguards can help keep an eye out for danger. 🌞 Stick to swimming in daylight hours—it’s safer and easier to spot hazards. 👀 Choose spots with clear water where you can see the bottom, but be aware that even large crocodiles can be undetectable even in knee-deep water. 🚧 Always respect crocodile warning signs—they’re there to keep you safe.

Be Crocwise in Croc Country and reduce your risk

When you’re in Croc Country it’s important to understand how to Be Crocwise around the water.

Crocodiles can be found in any waterway including rivers, creeks, beaches, oceans and waterholes.

Crocs are apex predators that use ambush tactics, such as lying and waiting at the water’s edge, to capture their prey. Just because you can’t see a croc, doesn’t mean there isn’t one close by.

So, if you enjoy fishing, boating, camping or swimming in the great outdoors, knowing how to Be Crocwise can reduce your risk of a croc attack.

Be Crocwise. Reduce your risk.
- Keep at least 5m away from the water's edge.
If you have to move closer, use a solid object like an esky, rock or log to act as a barrier between you and the water.

- Always dispose of food and fish scraps in a bin or take them with you.

- Keep your pets on a lead and away from the water’s edge.

- Swim between the flags at patrolled beaches.
Visit the Beachsafe website to locate patrolled beaches in your area.

- Avoid using small watercraft like kayaks and paddleboards.

- Never approach or interfere with crocodile traps.

Previously, the free QWildlife App has been the Queensland Government's official online reporting platform where members of the public can easily report sightings of crocodiles and koalas only. These reported sightings provide accurate location and population data which contributes important information used for conservation and management actions.

With the new 'Marine Strandings' function, you can now also submit sightings of any sick, injured or deceased turtles, dolphins, dugongs, seals or whales found stranded on land or adjacent coastal waters.

App users can upload information about where the marine animal is located, as well as photos and observations about their appearance and condition.

After submitting a sighting through the app, a Queensland Government officer or trained strandings responder in the relevant region will be contacted with the details of your sighting and will determine the appropriate response.

For more information on marine strandings, visit the Queensland Government marine strandings webpage or reach out to the GBRR Strandings team who worked on delivering the Marine Strandings extension through the app.

The QWildlife app is free and available for iOS and Android (visit the App Store or Google Play).

Koala Breeding Season

Description

During the warmer months of spring and summer, koalas in Queensland are moving around to mate or establish new territory. Young koalas are also leaving their mothers to find a home of their own.

Koalas are nocturnal so they are most active between dusk and dawn.

They may be seen crossing roads, navigating backyards, and possibly getting caught in other dangerous situations.

We’re all doing our part to protect our iconic species, but koalas especially rely on those in their local community during breeding season.

Help them on their journey by sharing messaging about koala breeding season.
