Well, this is a warm place! What can I say?

This is a taking a boat along the Adelaide River - looks nice and peaceful doesnt it? Why dont you hop in for a quick swim?

Think again!

This big old salt water crocodiles are lurking below the surface just waiting for a chance to jump up and get you. Some of the crocs can get to be more than 8 metres long! I like the above picture? I think National Geographic should grab this one!

Click on these images to get the full size! These was along the Adelaide River. They hung pork over the side of the boat and these monsters would come from out of nowhere and shoot out of the water to grab the meat... Very exciting trip!

Needless to say, I put my swimming trunks away for the day.
