Seems your question is just about deep water and crocs, my reply below deals mainly with the OTT north of the Wenlock
On the OTT your only deep water will be Nolans Brook and another billabong just south of Nolans. No crocs there
Most of the little streams and creeks on the OTT are croc free. There has been reports in years past of a croc at cockatoo creek. You will soon see when you get there, hard to explain but it will be self explanatory. It will be very obvious which ones are safe for a swim.
Bigger rivers will always potentially have crocs. Wenlock, Archer, Jardine. Again when you see them it will be pretty obvious that there are more than just lizards in them. At the Archer, crossing when the water is down and you have sand for hundred metres up and down with clear water, it should be ok and many people camp and swim there in the dry season
The overriding position is of course to be croc wise if unsure

On the non OTT tracks specially north of the Jardine I would simply assume crocs in any body of water, including the sea.

hi wayne
we went thru the tele track in early july in a great wall wagon and had no problem with water depth . in sept in a patrol you will have no issues
there are no crocs on the track and despite trying to find some elsewhere never saw one.
we did here reports of them at the beach at seisha and portland roads.
we even drove 5k along chilli beach to the next creek were the local resident is 15foot long. still didnt see any

Well you have chosen the best time to go even if it will be a bit sticky and humid, just before the rain starts.. the water levels should be at their lowest point now as you will be at the end of the dry... should also be to early for the stingers to be out and about in the sea as well.. as for crocs just always remember that they could be there but don't let them stop you having a good time. Croc's don't normally like fast flowing rivers and stick to billabongs... we lived in the tropics ( Darwin, Cairns and Mackay ) for 13 years and we have never had a problem with crocs... have a blast
