Croc's and Idiots

Yep, It's Shady camp. not flooded, tide looks like it is coming in. From memory, left side of pic is salt water and other side is fresh water??.

Yeah that is shady camp alright, I is the most amazing thing that no one has been taken as yet.

Word can not explain the things that some people do there.

No.....people are really that stupid........ ;-))

Hi Joe and Grace

Yes, Cahills Crossing is amazing. Not only are the adults standing in the water as the crocs line up for the barra on the incoming tide, but the parents aren't watching as their little children are playing on the rocks that line the side of the crossing. Different families each day we were there. One man was casting his rod at the crocs and hit a few. He jagged one and it got rather upset until it did a roll and snapped his line. Abuse was flying between some of the people on the viewing platform and the fisher/crocker man. Apart from the Nile, there are said to be more crocs in the East Alligator River than any other river in the world. Some big ones too. You'd wonder how there was enough to feed them, then again a few children and mad fishermen must enhance their diet.

if you are lucky enough to fly over the river systems at low tide on a warm day the crocs are sunning themselfs ....
It looks like someone has thrown a bucket of matches out and scattered em up the river banks there are thousands of them ...
When we lived in Maningrida a freind was fishing out at the "old barge landing" and out of noware thousands of crocs, all around the same size, bout 2-3m long, started heading out the river to sea, he was amazed as there were so many and as far as he could see, went for a few hours....
Old local guy said it did happen from time to time, like a miregration of some kind

Keeping the kid between you and the water is a good idea as well!

Maybe the others are not in the photo because they are sizing up lunch

or camera shy! LOL....
