'Loch Ness Monster' Spotted off the Coast of Queensland
The Loch Ness Monster appears to have upped sticks and relocated to sunnier climes, if this photograph is anything to go by. This photo, taken from a beach on Magnetic Island, off Townsville in Queensland, Australia, shows what looks like Nessie’s distinctive long, curved neck bobbing up and down in the water.
One man who saw the mysterious shape was David “Crusty” Herron, a local man who performs marriage ceremonies. He told Australia’s Sunrise breakfast TV show: “The weather is perfect – that is why Nessie is here. I was walking on the beach when somebody shouted out ‘For God’s sake it’s the Loch Ness Monster.’ I looked over and there was this sort of beasty thing just moving around about 200 metres (650 feet) out. The head was approximately a metre-and-a-half (5 feet) out of the water and it was bobbing up and down. I would estimate it was about four metres (13 feet) long. It could be a Plesiosaurus or something like that.”
