Deadman's Gully (2)

Clifton Beach, north Queensland

Following on from the first photo taken here in Deadman's Gully. The crocodile that
attacked the victim and her dog was over 3 metres long, and there was another even
larger crocodile laying in the water looking like a fallen log. It was the one
looking like a log that took her attention and she didn't see the other one about
to strike. Luckily for her she got away; but apparently quite a few dogs go missing
in the area and one wonders whether the crocs got them.

Dogs seem to attract the alligators here. More so than the wading birds. I hope there were signs warning everyone to keep dogs on-leash.

I wonder if the "deadman" was taken by a croc. !! My father worked on the Zambezi when he was young - they shot a problem croc and found hangles in its stomach !!!

Great shot and information Yvonne but a rather spooky, swampy place. The trees are Swamp Paperbarks I think. V
