The Hero

Crocs are found in the waters in and around Cable Beach. The croc spotter is the hero plane that has a routinely scheduled scan over Cable beach several times a day on the look out for Saltwater crocodiles that might be entering into the bay. Water here is clear which crocs dislike however several times a year Cable Beach is closed due to a rouge croc. Last month a croc jumped clean out of the water and attacked a Broome dentist in his boat. The dentist lived to tell the story but claimed it was due to the tourists feeding chicken to the crocs over the sides of the boats.
This is the last Beach swimming we will be able to do until we are well south on the east coast of Australia. The deadly "salties" live in the ocean shallows but can also be found well up river too. They are a highly respected danger by those who frequent the North of Australia. Crafty, calculated, and determined are the words that describe them..Yet another nasty!
