November 16, 2009
Yellow Water Billabong, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia



These are the big “Salties” that get periodic press coverage for chowing down on the occasional human. Elsewhere in the Top End tours are offered in which habituated crocs jump out of the water to snag proffered hunks of meat. We chose to skip the carnival atmosphere and view the more sedate crocs on the Yellow Water billabong.
Ive written up an account of this three-week trip to Australia here.
