Particularly as the guide had swum in the same water-hole only hours
earlier. apparently. I think the croc got the wrong person.

Actually, I'm overwhelmed with visiting birders at the moment and
like most
I guide they're a well-travelled and sensible bunch.
And on " common sense", it wasn't that long ago that a Kakadu tour
guide
with thirteen year's experience, told his party of young
backpackers they
could go swimming in a billabong at midnight. One didn't come out
alive.

Okay Denise, I think any internationals reading this are sufficiently
terrified so they will never visit the NT again.
More seriously though, it's good advice, but there aren't any dangers
that cannot be avoided with some basic common sense!

Don¹t
go anywhere near the water¹s edge at either Leanyer Sewage Ponds
or Fogg
Dam. Parks and Wildlife have been unable to trap big crocs in both
areas.
Staying in your car is the safest option.
If you walk through the monsoon forest at Fogg Dam, be extra
careful as

wouldn¹t be surprised if the big crocodile sometimes entered there
as
well.
