You HOPE they were freshies at Kununurra, Jill!! I can’t believe I saw so many crocs when touring the Top End, especially the WA parts! On our Timber Creek Victoria River croc tour, the guide knew them all by name – so that’s maybe the case with Marlgu too!! It’ll be interesting to see if the big croc is still there when we return one day!!

as they say – never smile at a crocodile. We saw a saltie at Marlgu Billabong too. Might be the same fellow. And I nearly stepped on one sunning itself on the bank at Windjana. We also had them coming up onto the bank at the caravan park in Kununurra – they were “freshies”…I think!

That's some mighty huge crocks there Red. I'm not too sure if I'd actually want to see these creatures, I'd need a bigger zoom, 300mm isn't quite far enough away for me! lol

Excellent shots you have here, I'll see if I can find the place to cast a vote for you.

Have a fantastic weekend!

@Iris – Haha, love your German saying … but I think my partner would rather fight a croc than huge mosquitoes!! Downunder you learn to check EVERY log very carefully if you are in the crocodile zone!!

Oh, by golly! Guess we were not only very, very lucky nothing happened with some spider, but also that we had no accident with any Croc! In Kakadu I couldn´t escape most of the huge Mossies, but luckily a croc in the dark! Windjana Gorge… oh, my, I thought those were logs, I hope they were!
We have a saying here in Germany: God is with stupid. The real stupid, he helps.
Boy, we were so naive and careless, it hurts in the aftermath!

@Margaret – The scenery is really why we were there – the crocodiles were an added extra!!

I would definitely keep my distance, but the scenery in all these locations is wonderful! I’d love to visit them just for that.

@Glen – WOW is the best way to describe them! That’s if you can think of anything at all to say after seeing them in the flesh …
@Debbie – The smart people are the scared ones!! Luckily (or not, depending on your point of view), the days of the REALLY big ones are over!
@Lea – I only get close when there’s a safe barrier between me and the croc! Thank god for zoom lenses!!
@Christopher – Haha, just when you thought the threat of JAWS was over, huh?!?!

Fantastic croc shots! We have them here in Florida, too, but I do not not get as close to them as you do ... WOW :)

Hugs & Blessings!

I loved this . . . and now I know it’s not safe to go back in the water. Yikes.
