Wednesday: Jumping Croc

Jumping Crocs at Adelaide River was awesome!!!!!!! The boat was covered in glass which meant that the kids could see and we weren't too stressed about where they were. I think they had a great time, I sure did and some of the photos were great. You get a running commentary whilst you watch the crocs and basically the crew feed the crocs but the crocodiles come out of the water to do so, hence jumping crocs. This apparently isn't something that they have learnt to do, it is a natural instinct ie when birds are sitting on branches over the river, if a croc sees it and is hungry, then wammo, bye bye birdie.

Its about an hour out of town and they have a few tours a day. The crew are very knowledgeable and they seem to really love their job. We saw two crocodiles fighting and one of the oldest crocs on the river, 'Agro'. He was huge, not just huge but huuuuuuuuuuge. You certainly come to appreciate and respect them, and you do hope that the boat doesn't sink.

Some of the crocodiles were very interested in Alicia. They cruised up and down the boat a couple of times, hoping she would fall in, I suspect. I have heaps more photos, so I will put them on coulterclan photos link for eveyone to see.
