• A Queensland town has warned residents to stay away from the local river after a dog was taken by what is believed to be a saltwater crocodile, in the first sighting of the animal in an area hundreds of kilometres from where it is normally found.
• The attack happened on Monday night at the Bottom Crossing on the Flinders River near Richmond.
• The town is about 660km from Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria, where saltwater crocodiles are more commonly found.
