I still get ptsd when I remember my stupidity on visiting a beach in Port Douglas. I went underneath the jetty to a secluded spot behind some rocks ( looking back now I know the area to the back of me was an estuary, which I hadn't notice, or just ignored) I decided to lay behind the rock and sunbath on my tummy with my feet to the water for about an hour. I was completely seduced by the heat and scenery and decided to go for a swim. I lay on my back and then swam about 3ft out splashing and covering myself with sea water like I was in a bloody private pool. Instantly it started raining and clouds appeared which I knew was a normal occurance in that part of Australia. I had an eerie feeling though and decided to get out. As I walked back along the beach I noticed all the signs that I honestly hadn't noticed before, even though they were everywhere. I was blinded by the beauty of that place and know how lucky I had been. In the local bar later that day, a chap told me about a young Swedish girl that had done the same as me and went for a swim near the jetty and a Croc took her. Still gives me shivers today at how stupid, yet lucky I was.

If you go up a bit further from Cape Trib to Lakefield (drive to Laura and take the road heading straight north) you'll find tons of crocs, salties and freshies, along the Normanby river and in all the billabongs around. Camped there for some days back in 2002, getting water from the creek to wash (not to drink) was an exciting adventure. Tried to get further north all the way up with my car, but broke both front bumpers on the track ("development road"). Took me two days of very slow driving to get back to Laura and another two rummaging through the local scrapyards to find bumpers for a 1984 Mazda station wagon... Glorious days when I used not to worry too much about taking a risk. You need a bit of luck to survive your youth sometimes.

[@spagoz2136]

There's no forgetting these are salt water crocs even though they spend most of their time in brackish water. River estuaries are their ideal location as is the case here in the Daintree River region. Because they are salties they are quite capable of swimming offshore so that they can move up and down the Queensland coast to find a suitable inlet to mark out their territory. Their travelling distance is limited by temperature although there has been the odd "sighting" of a croc in the south east of the state. As a local I would advise that if you are visiting the the Cairns area it's wise to remember that the Northern Beaches whilst appearing to be safe can be dangerous, particularly if you decide to go for that night time stroll along the water's edge or feel like you might want to go wading. The netted areas are there for a reason and not just to give swimmers some protection from stingers. Same thing with the warning signs. Ignore them and you risk your life. Otherwise it's a great part of Australia for tourists to visit.

[@Mickparrysstepdad]

It’s the ones you don’t see id be thinking about

In the 1970s it was a common rule of thumb that you dont swim north of Mackay unless in a Motel pool. Crocs are not the only reason, as stingers can be prevalent.

That croc reminds me of an alligator, that was laying on the shore, by my house. It was also about the same size. Since it was on the other side of a canal, and not to close, I decided to throw a rock at it. I found one, about 1/2 the size of my fist, and through it at it. I hit it, right in the middle of its' side, and it didn't even flinch! These creatures, are totally fixated, and one pointed.

Love that spot ❤️

Think I'll stick to Brighton.

The crocs freak me out!! Don’t think I could relax and sun bake on any FNQ beach even Port Douglas.

South African River mouths are notorious for sharks. Some sharks travel many km up the river.

[@sirdudleynightshade8747]

They'd be Zambezi sharks....aka bull sharks.

[@Appregator]

@@sirdudleynightshade8747 Yes. They take all my fish off the line once the fish is caught and signals distress at the river mouth into the sea at Witsand.

Like the shark repellant cream that sea swimmers/surfers apply on their bodies, is there anything similar to keep crocs/gators away?

Those warning signs were common when I visited Queensland. On ocean was jellyfish warnings!

Apparently you listened to the signs. You're still here to tell us about it :)
