I have been to Cahill's crossing many times and i have fished the river by boat and i have seen some incredibly stupid things being done there.
People either get blasé about crocks or they have absolutely no idea how dangerous they can be.
I have warned people to stay out of the water or not to get too close to the water at times and they have just looked at me as if I was stupid and have totally ignored me.
It used to **** me off because on many an occasion they had their kids with them.
Seem`s the local`s are as temporary as the terrorist`s:soapbox:

Crocs taste like crap, I haven't tried tourist yet.
THey all taste like chicken
Croc kebabs are tasty.
Americans are too fatty, make good soup bones, though!
Probably won’t be shared by others but I personally see no reason why we can’t have a sustainable croc culling industry.
Clearly they are breeding prolifically. Make a licenced industry out of it, generate some jobs, make some unique shoes, boots, belts etc and reduce chance of croc attacks.
I tend to agree with you, but the jobs would end up offshore.Quote:

A big male croc will have an area of around 1-2 klms of riverbank, where his females live. He patrols that area, seeing off any rivals. Pull him out, and the next rival moves in, until a bigger one pushes him out.
People have successfully co-existed with crocs for millennia. It is only our belief that we can control nature that prevents us from doing the same as preceeding societies have done.
Predators commonly take the slow and/or stupid prey out of the gene pool. This is a good thing for all of us. Unfortunately we are captive to the shock/horror news media that must keep us terrified, to keep us under control. Therefore, we let Big Brother look after us and keep us "safe" by promising to eliminate the fears they created in the first place.
End rant. [biggrin]
