This needs to be enforced. Saltwater crocodiles are one of very few animals, along with their Nile cousins, polar bears and Komodo dragons that can and do hunt humans with some degree of regularity. They also very territorial and excessively aggressive when encroached upon. I have no problem with people going to that place to see crocodiles but they have to do their research, understand the risks and listen to the experts first. One thing I come across a lot is people, usually Americans who think these crocodiles are the same as American alligators. That’s one of the main differences. Alligators are relatively docile and for the most part they’re tolerant of humans, crocodiles are the exact opposite.

I've been driving road trains through Cahill Crossing for the past five years, delivering goods to remote communities. However, in the last couple of years, I've noticed a worrying change in tourist behavior. People are risking their lives to take videos, and I’ve even seen kids standing in the middle of the crossing to fish with their parents. Many tourists ignore the dangers, and some don’t even move out of the way when a road train is coming through. It’s extremely dangerous to stop a large vehicle, especially when crossing through water. This is a serious safety issue, and I believe the government needs to take action. Cahill Crossing is a beautiful tourist destination, but we must keep it safe for everyone.
It's like seeing parents let children stand in flowing water at barrage at shady camp, flyfishing barra towards themselves with 30+ visible crocs... to many silent observers unwilling to stray from their business to sort parents out. Crocs love these spots cause can sit there with mouths open and fish just flow in. Kid slips during one of these and won't be the parents fault somehow
@@jackgmmmyou cant tell those sorts of parents (or their darling little Johnny) anything..."your mean !"...thats what ive been called for trying to warn parents in different situations. Also been yelled at. So there aint no way im risking my life to a croc for that muck ! Imho its time the govt and our general culture stopped mollycoddling these so called parent a holes !
This makes me think of the tourist in Montanna, who wanted the Grizzlies "to do something", so he started throwing rocks at them. They did something alright...they mauled him to death! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
My wife's American friend did a lot of swimming in the NT. My warnings were "like boring". There's 8 billion people on earth. Let the crocks eat a few.
You know what we call tourists in the NT. "Croc Bait" we call them that not to be nasty but because they pay no attention whatsoever to the warning signs. It is not uncommon to see tourists swimming at the boat ramps even though signs warn not to. It is a wonder more aren't taken.
As an African (Ug) I've been to remote areas where crocs kill locals fetching water and fisherman. These people depend on the lakes and rivers for their livelihood so one can't blame them. Seeing this video amazes me especially the kid playing next to the crocs. Why would people think this is a game?
That video of the lil boy on the rocks sent a shiver down my spine how could you let your kids anywhere near the waters edge?? The other thing I can’t stand is when people let their dogs near the water
I'm been to Cahill's plenty of times & even in the 1980's it was known as a dangerous place for crocs. People don't need to be that close to water & the Gov't have even put in viewing platforms/areas to make it safer. If that child was to be taken, the parents would cry victim & poor us when in fact in my opinion they killed their child & should be charged as such! Cahill's Crossing is very well signed with all the dangers, no excuses for people's stupidity. Don't go swimming or go near the waterways in the N.T., it could cost you your life.
They think they will be even remotely fast enough to snatch their kid back if they get taken or they will see the croc before it strikes or worst case: what they don't see won't hurt them/if they ignore it, it won't happen. God I can't stand people like this. And then they will blame the park and they will live the rest of their life in regret because of that one decision, because they didn't listen.
@@Seriously-m1p You're safe to shower here and there's safe places to swim. Years ago I had a friend who found a 3 metre Saltwater croc in his swimming pool, he lived in a rural area where pool fences were not mandatory. The number one rule here is read and follow safety signs as they're not a part of our crazy Aussie humour.
I can assure you I have the greatest respect for these reptiles and what they can do ! We might not have them as big in South Carolina rivers but you sure as hell don’t want to leave your kids and pets alone on the river banks !
Saltwater crocodiles are significantly more dangerous than American alligators. They’re not only double the size, they’re also 10 times as aggressive. Never make the error of conflating the two
We have alligators, no crocs. Alligators love to chase dogs and cats. Crocodiles hunt humans. We have crocodiles near the Fla Keys but not nearly as numerous or aggressive. I wouldn’t so much as take a shower in Australia.
On holiday in Port Douglas 20 years ago, one of the local tour guides said that German tourists in particular, were jumping off boats to get in a photo with the "Crocodiles - No Swimming" sign. It didn't matter how many times they were told. Some idiots can't be helped.
Yeah generally Europeans wouldn’t be aware of the massive power and bite force of salties and their aggressiveness since there are no crocs in Europe , its imminent that you respect the sign boards , they do have brown bear sign boards across Europe forests but crocs especially salties can take you out even if you are in groups . I don’t get into waters where there is sign board for mugger crocs as well in India which are relatively smaller and less aggressive compared to salties
Awful that people swim in these places ignore the signs. And Australia is pretty known to have crocodiles. Now one one of these idiots are attacked the crocodiles are labeled as blood thirsty creatures and put down. If you knowing go in there and get attacked you should be blamed.
It's a difficult balance. Crocodiles are intelligent animals. Their general attitude towards people can and has been shifted multiple times. While pushing to near eradication isn't the ideal method. It is safest for humans and Crocodiles if crocs associate us with being an alpha predator best to be left alone (like see with Nile crocs and hippos - mostly staying out of eachothers way). With docile activities and careless children around a near unchecked growing population, with few older crocs has changed them back to viewing us as targets that can be hunted.
@@jackgmmm so you think if we killed a bunch of crocs they would all of a sudden know? The only reason crocs and hippos do that is because they have been mixing with each other in there territory for thousands of years and they are both live on land and in water. Humans don’t now I get wanting to swim but once humans start killing things they can’t stop. We all ready have made crocs endangered once and ruined many other animal species. It’s pretty simple what to do here teach your kids not to go into the water when they are young
I've never seen such a stupid irresponsible parent in my life , what kind of idiot allows a little kid "That Close" to the water , knowing very well how these animals can leap out of the water to snatch their prey .

@@HKavarana I feel sympathy for everyone including the crocodiles they’re just following their nature still I understand why if they attack people they have to be killed regardless of weather it was entirely the humans fault may they at least feel guilty about that

Quite distinct from Southend! 😂 Though I’m glad you warned some stray poms.

Yep , and what will happen when an idiot offering themselves up for a feed gets taken ? Croc will probably get shot . These people have no brains whatsoever getting that close . Warning signs are irrelevant - where is the common sense.
I drive my deuce and half in the rivers here in AK. I would never attempt crossing a current that strong. One thing I always consider before crossing is what happens if I get taken downstream. Sometimes it's just not worth the risk.
Fished there years ago, people were standing on the crossing, we were in a boat and not far up the river beaches were covered with huge crocs catching morning sun. I am surprised way more people haven't been taken.
I’ve been living in north Australia since the 70s. The number of times I’ve seen people doing really dumb stuff regarding croc safety are just too many to recall. Cahills Crossing is a prime location for people doing stupid stuff.
I remember when I was younger driving through a much smaller River than that. Our biggest fear was getting stuck , there was a local in a 4x4 to help should we get stuck, fortunately we didn’t and thankfully I didn’t soil my shorts!! Scary moment and we had to go through these dummies are not thinking straight until they get taken.
In 1982 i was a young New Zealander visiting family in Darwin. My Brother-in-law thought it would be a good idea to have a picnic at the Annabaroo billabong. It even had a raft you could jump off and wild water buffalo wandering around. He gave me absolutely no indication of the danger that I was in. To me luckily the worst thing that happened was being bitten on my ball-sack by an ant.
I live in the North, and I get a little terror in my bones every time I see a croc .. and being a fisherman, I see crocs often. They are terrifying beasts. A parent that lets their kids do this, should not have children. Or give them a couple more weeks holiday lol. The poor little buggars have no clue : (
I lived in the NT for a year …( from the UK) .…… wonderful place and my second home . But you’ve got to respect the place and educate yourself on the dangers ….. especially when it comes to Crocs . If you wanna see them up close …head to Crocosaurus cove or Crocodylus park 👍 …. Don’t put yourself and especially your Kids in jeopardy………… they’ll have you in the blink of an eye . ❤️ the NT .
We do have salties in Eastern India and my native is close to one of the largest salt water conservation program , if they stalk to attack , no one can stop them , unlike Royal Bengal Tigers , there is nothing called as man eating croc , all crocs will eat you if you fall near to them atleast the medium sized salties and I have seen a salty dragging a human being very close to my heart , one of my worst childhood memories , even if there are 10 people around you , if the croc has targeted you , it will take you unless you have a gun or something to protect yourself . They are brutal with no mercy when it comes to food .. Salties and the warnings shouldn’t be taken lightly , applicable for all crocs but more so for Salties , they kill to eat …
Also like with sharks in the sea isn’t fishing putting the crocs at risk of hooks getting stuck in their mouths? I mean honestly from what I saw there were so more crocs and so bunched up in an area why fish there? Why out them at risk too!

Crocs are just calculating all the time..
Remember smiling at a Croc makes you a Happy meal
🤣😂🤣
been across it twice ( 4 times if you count back and fourth) and it was like this every time , people everywhere with little kids
And problem is what?
to many , time to make some new boots and belts
Is that the crocs get shot if they take a Human
"chock-a-block" 😂 that’s a phrase you don’t hear much anymore these days!
And the Darwin Award goes to.......?(Insert name).....
2:26 "how much worse could it have been?" .... FFS really? 🤣🤣🤣
I can see it pretty good from 5000 miles away.
In the UK we have these things called bridges
Excellent report, 👍
"Stupid is as stupid does."
The crocs have my vote. As do sharks.Far too many stupid human beings on earth wasting theoxygen.Not nearly enough sharks andcrocs.
So what did the crocodile say? Don't the tourist speak crocodile ?
Mate, what were they thinking mate?
In 1982 i was a young New Zealander visiting family in Darwin. My Brother-in-law thought it would be a good idea to have a picnic at the Annabaroo billabong. It even had a raft you could jump off and wild water buffalo wandering around. He gave me absolutely no indication of the danger that I was in. To me luckily the worst thing that happened was being bitten on my ball-sack by an ant.
Damn. Ant bites on the sack.
They must be from Barcelona
Great line from John Cleese
My pal took a cricket bat 🏏 down at Cahill crossing. He ended up throwing the ball at a crocodile.
I live in the North, and I get a little terror in my bones every time I see a croc .. and being a fisherman, I see crocs often. They are terrifying beasts.
A parent that lets their kids do this, should not have children. Or give them a couple more weeks holiday lol. The poor little buggars have no clue : (
ive seen a few pet owners watch their dogs get torn in half by gators here. saving money on leashes is too frugal
The fact that its Saltwater crocs and not alligators in this situation ☠️
You can't tell tourists anything...No matter how long you have lived someplace, they know better....I gave up decades ago...
West and East are different in Australia?
Someone was killed in 1987 ? Great report Sky News.
The fact it's 3 miles away from "Darwin" is all I needed to know 🤣
"a memorable fatality... a fella got his head picked off" so Aussie!
I don't know why everyone gets so worked up...that tourist's foot will grow back.
There is a hook in that fishes mouth. And the morons gave it to the crocodile what a helmet.
🤮
It's safe to say if you make that mistake you will not make is again..
So ironic that there's a city named 'darwin' up there.
For some reason, this isn't on my bucket list
I've always been very wary of not going in the water, or even near it. And I live in Scotland. But that's also because of Nessie.
It’s like any wild place in the world where a person is not the top of the food chain and they are too stupid to realize it.
Traveling all that way to feed the crocs, that's nice of them!
Darwin approves.
I lived in the NT for a year …( from the UK) .…… wonderful place and my second home . But you’ve got to respect the place and educate yourself on the dangers ….. especially when it comes to Crocs . If you wanna see them up close …head to Crocosaurus cove or Crocodylus park 👍 …. Don’t put yourself and especially your Kids in jeopardy………… they’ll have you in the blink of an eye . ❤️ the NT .
Some people would sacrifice a relative for subscribers on RUclips - mother in laws are very popular for this phenomenon we hear.
This is truly terrifying.
These people have an death wish 🥺.
We do have salties in Eastern India and my native is close to one of the largest salt water conservation program , if they stalk to attack , no one can stop them , unlike Royal Bengal Tigers , there is nothing called as man eating croc , all crocs will eat you if you fall near to them atleast the medium sized salties and I have seen a salty dragging a human being very close to my heart , one of my worst childhood memories , even if there are 10 people around you , if the croc has targeted you , it will take you unless you have a gun or something to protect yourself . They are brutal with no mercy when it comes to food .. Salties and the warnings shouldn’t be taken lightly , applicable for all crocs but more so for Salties , they kill to eat …
Is it safe to swim there?
Also like with sharks in the sea isn’t fishing putting the crocs at risk of hooks getting stuck in their mouths? I mean honestly from what I saw there were so more crocs and so bunched up in an area why fish there? Why out them at risk too!
