What I saw was something splashing in the sea beyond the exposed mud
towards the edge of the mangroves. I distinctly saw a couple of blows
(so it wasn't a fish or a croc), and I thought I caught sight of
brownish back. But there was no dorsal fin.

Hi John,
yes possible, however they are not reported from the area very often. They
tend to like turbid river outfall areas.
Could you describe what you saw a little more. surfacing behavior, colour,
number, size, dorsal fin shape and position, blow size/shape etc. Length of
view?
I would be very interested to find out more, I'll pass on the information to
Aus-cetnet.
Kind regards
