Attachment 4880 you can get very close to freshwater crocs but dont try it with salty's. There is pamplets avaiable at tourists info stops in Cairns that explain the do's and don'ts in croc country.I work and camp in the top end maybe 6 months of the year so encounters are plentiful.Just dont visit the same spot near a river at the same time routinely,crocs will lie in wait for days waiting for an ambush.Saltys will live and venture into freshwater.
