ADELAIDE RIVER NT AUSTRALIA JUMPING CROCODILES DARWIN NT AUSTRALIA

AA 2006 In the murky waters of the Adelaide River, lives the most dangerous reptile in Northern Australia. The huge saltwater Jumping Crocodiles are the stars of this fascinating Cruise, which excites, entertains and educates.Crocodiles can be seen caged anywhere, but this was my chance to see the Famous Jumping Crocodiles 'in Action in the Wild'.

Perched high above the dangers of the Crocodiles is a feast of birdlife - Magpie Geese, Brolgas, spritely Dollar Birds and Hawks (known as Kites in the NT). Kingfishers and Corellas gather in flocks of hundreds on the marshy floodplains beside the river. Wild Pigs and Buffalo are often sighted darting in and out of the tall grasses along the river banks.
