NSW: Crocodile visit to south coast campsite
Campers enjoying a break on New South Wales' south coast have been confronted by a
saltwater crocodile.
Police say the one and a half metre croc was discovered walking around a scout camp
on Arthur Kaine Drive at Pambula about 5pm (AEDT) yesterday.
About 20 people were camping at the time.
The reptile was restrained by campers and taken to Wildlife Information Rescue and
Education Service carer in Bega.
National Parks and Wildlife Services officers say it's highly unlikely the crocodile
made its own way to Pambula from its natural habitat on the coastline of tropical northern
Australia.
Authorities are now trying to track down its owner.
