Freshwater Crocodile Found Near Newcastle Creek

Stephanie Kirsop's son and friends spotted a juvenile, one-meter (39-inch) freshwater crocodile in Ironbark Creek near Newcastle, Australia in early March 2026; authorities and the Australian Reptile Park captured it by Sunday night. The species is normally tropical, living about 2,000 kilometers north, suggesting human release; the protected croc will remain at the park while officials decide permanent placement.
