The hunt continues for a bold, large crocodile believed to have killed an elderly woman whose remains and belongings were found near a Far North Queensland waterway. Police on Friday confirmed remains found at the creek were human and a walking stick bearing Ms Cameron's name and other items were found nearby. Pig carcasses have been rigged into floating and land traps and wildlife officers will also attempt to capture the crocodile directly. "Ten wildlife officers who are experts in crocodile behaviour, biology, ecology and management are on the ground here in Port Douglas, with the support of another 10 staff." Ms Cameron's death has prompted Katter's Australian Party to renew calls for more stringent management of crocodiles, including culling.
