The crocodiles were on the wrong side of the crossing, that is why they changed sides. They normally sit ( float ) on the side that the water is rushing too. The rushing water normally carries with it lots of barramundiand other fish and they float there getting an easy meal. They are actually pretty clever creatures .

Visited Cahill's Crossing last year 2018, saw several fishermen with a beer in one hand and a pole in the other, more at their feet or on the rocks. Well within striking distance. Not very smart considering the size, speed and numbers of these apex predators.

If they are locals they are ok, if tourists they are idiots!

People get caught out here because of the speed of the tide, not the height of the water. Sometimes a vehicle can cross here ok then 15 minutes later a car can get swept down the river. Cahils is a great iconic place, just know what you're doing.

But that's exactly what happens when a person is taken by a croc. The croc is hunted and killed by the poor rangers who then have to deal with the gruesome task that follows. You're right - the croc did nothing wrong. Fishing and crabbing and boating are just such a huge part of life in Northern Australia. People are willing to take risks and also become very complacent.

@elemenohpee3429

4 жыл бұрын

Johan I believe what happens is when a croc has taken someone, they have to track it in order to find the body. Crocs 'store' carcasses they can't eat in one go, either to come back to it later for another helping or to catch other animals that have been attracted to the smell. I guess maybe crocs act differently when they've recently fed which is how rangers know which ones to track in these circumstances. A lot of rangers in those areas are probably Aboriginal or they enlist the help of an Aboriginal tracker to help them. Perhaps the croc usually ends up being killed in the process of all this. Not a very nice thing for the ranger/tracker to have to go through - and a big reason why you should indeed stay away from them!

Cahills Crossing enters Arnhem Land which you need a permit for. The Aboriginal people don't want a bridge there. They don't want people going onto their land unless they have business being there. It's also very remote so even without the huge threat of crocs, the logistics of building it would be too difficult. The wet season (which is like half the year) causes lots of road closures for example.
