Crocodiles in Australia General Chat

it’s best to stay at high altitude up here in the north to get away from the crocodiles .
Especially for the dogs .

this guy wanted to swim where there’s crocodiles and almost payed the big prize .

Glad we don't have that problem here .

Another guy was grabbed by a crocodile today in Weipa .
He said on the news he thinks he pulled its eye out to escape .
Yikes !


Well we don’t have saltwater (estuarine) crocodiles here only freshwater ones (much less dangerous) , you do only have to go about half hour up the road for those saltwater crocs though

We do have plenty of snakes around however .
Saw this one last week walking the dogs in the bush .

of course most of them are deadly here .

here is the guy , 2nd attack in a week

Sharks have been getting a lot of people in the last year it seems too.

this on the news tonight bit spooky .

Someone compiled data on crocodile attacks through history

if you can stomach the short reports and tales .

And today it’s the dingos turn , some attacked a boy on Fraser Island .

Today’s koala news

Crocodile footage that was on the news tonight .

Yes that’s the same story on that UK news site you’ve posted.

the people seemed a bit too complacent about it although I know it was first after the sharks they had caught .
Too close for comfort as they say .

Here is one from a while ago , guy catches a barramundi but couldn’t get the fish , because the crocodile came out of the water and was too fast .

they can move too

imagine this fish is probably a meter or so they are big fish , swallowed it easily

Queensland tourist ad made by a New Zealander

Another attack now sheesh !

and sneaky sneaky

Umm - remind me to cross "Visit Australia" off my bucket list!

Although they do eat the occasional tourist , it’s safe as long as you don’t do silly things generally .

I feel blessed to live in Australia actually .

Although ......

I do wonder what it’s like to live in New Zealand , no snakes , hardly spiders etc where you can pretty much sleep outside on the ground without worrying about waking up dead

they have found human remains and “euthanized “ a 4 meter crocodile today the news had reported in this case .
