Sorry no pics of the crocs, even though the place is full of them . Don't see them much when the river is flooding. But I bet the bloke that drove the truck into the river had a hairy escape. I'm aware of at least one guy who was taken (in front of his young son) by a croc at this very place (Cahill's Crossing in Kakadu).

In those days when they named things in Australia (i.e. late 18th/early 19th century) there was a (incorrect obviously) believe that the crocs in Australia were alligators. But the names stuck.

Fire and ice..

Bushie, what Sigma lens is that?

The 70mm f/20 has given a nice star pattern.

Its the 70mm f2.8 EX DG Macro.

Only had it a couple of weeks but very happy with it so far.

Should be nice, I've got it's bigger brother the 150 f/2.8 Macro and it's very good. 9 blade lens and stopped down hence the nice starring. I haven't used mine in that situation as a 150mm prime isn't as useful as it is for its macro ability.
