Seven new H5 bird flu cases have emerged along New South Wales’ far south coast, infecting terns and a petrel — signaling a growing outbreak. Authorities are now reporting in “events” rather than individual cases to track wider investigations. Biosecurity warnings are up at popular coastal spots like Spencer Park and Mitchies Jetty, urging the public to avoid sick or dead wildlife. Locals are devastated, calling the scene “gutting,” as these birds are vital to the coastal ecosystem. The virus is spreading rapidly across states, with mass deaths reported in South Australia and Tasmania, and the greater crested tern especially at risk. If you spot any sick or dead animals, call the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline: 1800 675 888.
