Fishing in the Brisbane River at Norman Park, ca. 1934

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Brisbane River, referred to by locals as the "brown snake", has long been known as a home for many creatures great and small. During the warmer months, rumors of fishermen catching meter-long bull sharks swirl around the city. Queensland Museum ichthyologist Jeff Johnson said bull sharks were a common resident of the Brisbane River but population estimates varied wildly. "Research done in the river about a decade ago put an estimate on the number of bull sharks in the river between 1,000 and 3,000," he said. During winter the sharks often move downstream in the Brisbane River. "The sharks follow the mullet schools, and mullet migrate out to sea to spawn when the first westerly winds come in May and June," Mr. Johnson said. "Around the mouth of the river they are often caught in fishermen's nets, but in the warm months they are more active in the river itself."
