Carp to Croc Event Hosted By Central Coast Council

🐟 Join us for Carp to Croc at Wyong Milk Factory!

Carp are one of the most destructive invasive species in Australia’s freshwater systems, degrading water quality and displacing native fish. Carp to Croc is your chance to fish for a cause—helping to protect our local waterways while putting your catch to good use!

The Central Coast Council is hosting a fun-filled day of fishing, demonstrations, and expert talks

What’s On:

• Fishing, electrofishing & rod rigging demonstrations

• Carp cooking showcase – taste it if you dare!

• Talks from experts at OzFish, BCF, Central Coast Council, DPI, WaterNSW & more

• Exciting prizes, giveaways & activities for all ages—including a fishing kayak, Australian Reptile Park Family Experience, and a BCF voucher!

We’re encouraging the community to fish for this invasive species and either cook it at home or drop it off at @BCFTuggerah, where it will be stored for the @AustralianReptilePark as crocodile food!

Bring your fishing buddies and family for a day of fun, food, and conservation!
