Hi Doug. Could we classify it by family, eg Sillaginidae?
Sillago ciliata

This is some species of whiting. Most likely King George or Sand as these are the most common. Inconclusive though.

Can't see the full body so can't be sure, but likely a shortfin eel.
Anguillidae (order)

Likely Mugil this far upstream. Can't quite see pectoral fin spot or head shape, but Mugil seems more likely than Myxus.
Mugil cephalus

How far forward did the fin come? Happy to verify if you're confident it was a shortfin.
Anguilla australis
