They were bunched together laughing and splashing about. There were crocodile warning signs on the banks. A group of adult parents were sitting nearby socialising and watching the kids. I wandered over to chat with the parents and ask them if they had any concern about the kids swimming where crocodiles are likely to be. They said it was alright because the kids were in a big group and making a lot of noise and its people on their own that get eaten. I strongly doubt that is correct. I think that as well as visitors, the locals up there too, including the aborigines, can sometimes get complacent. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
