Salt water crocs.

During my stay in the port, I did an aboriginal tour of the Mossman gorge listened to a guy with OCD about talk about tropical fruit and took a tour on the Daintree river to view the local salt water crocs.

The first bit was interesting for about half an hour, the aboriginal talks and history of the local aboriginal tribes in the area...Then for some reason we went to a local restaurant where a guy with single minded passion for fruit (like what I did there), talked to us for about 20 minutes about tropical fruit. Not tropical fruit endemic to the area, just your normal run of the mill, pineapples, oranges, star fruit.... Do I need to go on?

Yep, he was big and I didn't wanna get that near...

Anyway after that we sailed the Daintree River home to some quite large salt water crocs and some lovely cute kingfishers! These crocs we saw further up the river, but Tara and I took a cruise from the marina and saw some huge crocs less than 200 meters from the town .... Worrisome.

 

This guy stepped out of the little bush hole like he was entering the stage..

Perfectly camouflaged can you see him?
