QPWS killed a 2.6 m croc at Chinaman's Ridge at about 8 am on 27 Sep. That is another record in LIFG. This record is of a sighting by a yachtie of another croc of about that size in Ferrier's Creek late morning/early afternoon, after the other had been killed. Info relayed to LIRS by Barbara Banks on Aquasafari. QPWS were still on the island and began looking for this second croc at about 9:30 am.
