I’ve just returned from a week in Far North Queensland, where there is no shortage of critters willing to bite, sting, poison or eat you. Luckily, these salt-water crocs were more interested in topping up their tans than in eating me for lunch.

Salties are so wonderfully careless of everything, eh ? 😀

As long as they’re careless of me, I’m happy! 🙂

Better luck than I had on my Daintree trip. I only mistook a log for a Croc. Well spotted and snapped.

They were hard to miss, as the guide took our small boat to within a few metres of each one.

Daintree is fabulous, though I didn’t spot any of these either. They are so prehistoric and look as though they are saying, “we’ll still be here when you humans have destroyed yourselves”.

According to our guide, the crocs were all out because the day I went (17 April) was the first day after Cyclone Ita hit on the 12/13th that the water level in the river had subsided enough from the flooding for their spots on the banks to be exposed again.

Very lucky then!
