Hi folks

I have been reading the replies to Jeremy Weiss's recent RFI which will
possibly help us plan our own trip to Darwin 'one day'. Thanks.

What I would like to know (ok I admit I am getting a little paranoid)
is how to enjoy some "safe" birding in the top end? I would quite
imagine some birders taking big risks as far as Crocs go because
water often equals birds!

Is it risky birding on one's own up there? Is it better to stick to
cruises or have a guide?

Is anyone willing to give some tips on how to enjoy the top end
without getting into strife? We would be first time visitors
and we are not twitchers needing to go off and find the
rarest of rare birds if it entails great risks....but would
love to enjoy some of the local wildlife and photography.

Same would apply to Cairns - another area we have not yet been to.

Thanks in advance

Cheryl Ridge
