Observation details
I incidentally found this juvenile Southern-giant Petrel picture on Instagram. I contacted the photographer (a dive instructor) and he told me this Giant Petrel (he uploaded as "Black Albatross") was swimming with tourist on 7th July 2019 at No.3 Ribbon Reef, east of Cooktown, north of Cairns. GPS coordinates was 15°30.064S 145°47.167E, it could be the new northern record of this species by over 1000km. The nearest record I could find on eBird was near Rockhampton in 2017.
