In 1966 - 71 when I was in Darwin people used to camp on the dry season
banks of the Daly River and wade down the Howard River to catch Barramundi.
They don't do it today. Croc population then was only a few thousand.
Today, according to the Yellow Water tour guide on our recent holiday, there
are estimated to be 80,000. Re crocs and birds, our guide also said they
dont seem to worry the Jabirus, which have been known to kill small crocs
with their large powerful bills.
