Qld: Hunt underway for croc spotted on Sunshine Coast

A search is underway on Queensland's Sunshine Coast for a crocodile .. spotted by a
woman from her home in the flood-ravaged town of Kin Kin.

The EPA says MICHELLE PALMER saw the crocodile on Tuesday morning in a small one metre
deep creek.

The area's been flooded in the past two weeks .. with up to 200 millimetres of rain
falling in nearby areas on Monday night.

The EPA say they're taking the report seriously .. but haven't seen any sight of the
reptile despite searching the area last night with spotlights.

It says the Department of Environment and Resource Management will take up the search
again today.
