The Wandering Tattler

These images illustrate our visit to Hartley's Crocodile Park, which lies mid-way between Cairns and Port Douglas on the coastal Cook Highway. The animals depicted here are estuarine ("salt-water") crocodiles, which - along with the Nile crocodile - are the most dangerous of all crocodilians and the most likely to kill humans. the local rivers and waterfronts are plastered with signs warning of the crocodile hazard.
