Seal has a holiday in Yarra River in Melb

Melbourne's Yarra River has been given the seal of approval.

A seal has been spotted having a holiday in the murky river over the past few days in Richmond and Abbotsford, and Wildlife Victoria says it appears to be in good health with no cause for concern at this stage.

People in boats are being advised to keep an eye out for the seal and anyone who spots it should call Wildlife Victoria so it can continue to be monitored.
