White Patch, Queensland

Download coordinates as: White Patch is a coastal town and locality of Bribie Island in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.

It was described as being brown or yellow "like a banana", 18 to 24 feet (5.5 to 7.3 m) long with large eyes and was accompanied by smaller serpents (possibly its young).

[11] In December 1948, Eric Decker, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Sandgate, caught such a "serpent" while on holidays at Bribie Island.

Mr Mack, curator at the Queensland Museum, said the description was consistent with a common sea snake in Moreton Bay.

[4] A talking monument, located in nearby Banksia Beach, tells the story of the landing of Matthew Flinders on Bribie Island in July 1799.
