West Arnhem Regional Council’s Gordon Smith discovered recently that the water levels may be low at Cahill’s Crossing at this time of year, but the crocodile count is still pretty high.
The Regional Manager for Service Delivery was driving to Gunbalanya early on Monday November 17 when a large crocodile loitering in the middle of the road held him up.
“He didn’t want to get off the road,” said Gordon.
“He walked around in a bit of a circle, but was in no hurry to leave.
“I persuaded him to move in the end.”
The crocodile photo has attracted nearly 9500 views on the West Arnhem Regional Council facebook page, proving that if there’s one thing people love, or love to hate, it’s a rogue crocodile.
One of the facebook commenters, Suzann Bailey, said she counted 10 big lizards at Cahill’s Crossing only a few weeks ago.
“There were four on one side of the road and about six on the other side and the tide was rushing in.
“Ugly looking things!”
