    In Queensland we were known as bore runners, checking mills, and flowing Artesian Bores. Never had a problem with fresh water Crocs, we washed in billabongs with them, and they kept their distance and did their own thing.

    You could swim in those holes no worries. All the crocs you have shown in your video are Johnson River crocs, freshwater crocs. Not the man eater saltwater crocs. They are like 99.9% of snakes and they will trip over themselves trying to get out of your way. Ask the blackfellas, and they will tell you what I say is true. You're up that way, talk to the blackfellas, listen to them. They have lots to teach us.
