Glad he is still alive, but who camps so close to water in croc country? Not me!

Irrespective salt or fresh they all inhabit the same water in the NT and they all bite . Camping near a water hole or for that matter a storm drain in the NT brings to mind the saying " you can't put brains in statues"

Best places to camp up here in the NT IS near waterholes or creeks & many thousands do every year. Were just getting more & more croc's up this way every year. Camping on the ground is always a stupid risk & a good camp dog is a must, don't think I will get dragged out of bed in my motorhome & we don't swim in locations that crocs could frequent.
Found a 2.5mtr croc on our rural block 2 years back & were miles from the nearest river/waterway. The boss & I were collecting cane toads on our firebreak at night & heard a rustle in the long grass, gave us both a fright. They no longer fear people like they used to.
More chance of getting some weird mosquito bourne virus than being taken by a snapping handbag in the NT, and I wonder if alcohol was a factor????
