Deadman's Gully (1)

Clifton Beach, north Queensland

Notes from a local news item featured November 2014.

A WOMAN who came within 1-cm of a crocodile's jaws after the reptile lunged at her and her dog at
a Northern Beaches creek has called for the immediate removal of the dangerous creature.
The Clifton Beach resident, was walking her German shepherd at Deadman’s Gully on Sunday night.

Two saltwater crocodiles have been spotted several times by locals in the waterway in recent weeks,
the last sighting reported on Thursday prior to this event.

This photo of an often used bridge is over the creek and is very close to a
children's playground area and a walking trail that spans 30 Ks.

I like the perspective here. Somehow though, the modern walkways seems incongruous with the swamp. V

I image that the Crocs should have precedence over the dog walkers.
