fork-tailed
If you are talking about the fork-tailed catfish, there are several species. Not common, but they do get south sometimes - we have records from Shark Bay, Abrolhos, Fremantle and even Denmark! It will be interesting if they are resident though. No doubt things are changing...

Catfish
i caught a fork tail catfish. (Don't know if that is the real name) 30+ years ago at red bluff.
My spots are so secret even the fish don't know about them !

Quite common in places
We've been catching them for as long as i can remember. Actually used to be a real PITA when we were wetlining at times--they would move in and that was the end of that. This was mostly i over 40 fathoms (70m plus) of water, NOR. Nothing unusual, or recent, about their existence.
