North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Went for a fish at Shady camp barrage thursday night with Mud.

Rained all night and we caught half a dozen rats and Mud got 1 keeper. I got a bl..dy stinkin powertail too..

Anyway, coming home about 1am, I was driving across adelaide river bridge then in the headlights BAM!

big crocodile about 3.5/4m laying across the road with his mouth open. had to swerve to miss him.

Thought I was seeing things so turned around and went back.

He was slowly waddling off the bridge and Mud tried to get a photo with my crappy camera but we only got 1 dodgy shot.

Mud wanted the pic so I thought id post it up anyway.
Cheers.

waddling is right....looks like it's not just the bazza getting fat this time of year

Cheers Turtle
He was fat as!
We blew past it and if there had not been a gap he probably would have rolled us.
Guess its a warning for culvert fishos...being on the bridge doesnt ensure safety.
Last trip out Sarrge and I nearly hit a DONKEY near Anaburru. Time before that I nearly hit a PIG the size of a hippo standing in the middle of the road.
What next? A giraffe?

As they say (only in the NT).

Now thats one shot I would not get out of the ute to get a closeup Cool pic Turtle.

Lucky you didn't run him over, would have been a hell of a speed bump at highway speed!

crikies that would have been a hell of shock to see.

We have wildlife on the roads down here too !!!!


They just diont have as many TEETH !
