Be crocwise this wet season

Kakadu National Park wishes to advise that the monsoon season ‘Kudjewg’ has arrived and with it comes regular storms and squally showers, resulting in flooding and inundation of low-lying areas.
This also means estuarine or saltwater crocodiles are on the move at this time of year. There have been a number of sightings of estuarine crocodiles in roadside culverts and along flooded causeways right across Kakadu National Park and visitors to Kakadu are urged to be careful when fishing, walking or driving near water.
During the wet season estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles can move large distances in search of new territories. Smaller crocodiles are often forced out of their territories by dominant male crocodiles. 
Hungry and on edge, they may be seeking temporary respite from larger crocs or looking for a feed of fish that congregate in culverts. 
These animals are likely to be very aggressive, and an attack can lead to death.
The message is clear: Expect the unexpected, keep away from the water’s edge and don’t become complacent.
Your safety is our highest priority – please refrain from fishing roadside culverts along Kakadu and Arnhem Highways and observe all signage.
