There really is only one road to Cape Tribulation and you would have to be blind to miss all the Croc Warnings signs.

When this story broke yesterday, I went to google which linked me to the brisbanetimes.com.au website. The story was text with a video of a news bulletin. So I clicked on the play button, and of course it went to a commercial first. It was Allianz Insurance and it kicked off with the old R and R song, See Ya Later, Alligator, in a while crocodile. Allianz would probably not want that to happen, but it shows you how bloody stupid the internet can be at times.

You were reading an article about crocodiles, so it played an ad with a reference to crocodiles, now you are posting on internet forums about Allianz insurance.

I've been swimming at Port Douglas before. If you pick the beach you can go for a swim.

I got the impression from reports she was in some kind of backwater.

yes, I am under the same impression, some sort of backwater.

I was up there a few years ago and we did not consider going near the water.

I see your point, but if that is the case its not stupid, its indecent.

And they say a bigger one has been recorded in the records. What surprises me is how fast these dinosaurs move on land when they're going full pelt after something. Almost as fast as a grizzly bear. Bloody awesome.

I watched one of those beheadings in detail - audio and all - but never again. I had PTS disorder for a week afterwards.
