The crocs will get them out of the gene pool soon enough ...

If the area is posted,let them swim.

Dumbest thing I've seen for awhile.

Idiots.

We just watched the series Outback Hunters on Apple TV. If these idiots watched that, they would never set foot in the water.

Had a croc grabbed him, it would have prevented such tomfoolery for quite some time.

Just imagine the photo sequence from that!

With pictures like that and names too. What's the delay in arresting these idiots?
Bakes: Great post and lots of links within.
I've just spent most of an hour looking at these monsters.

Having seen a few attacking wildebeasts crossing the rivers I'm not much surprised other than those guys didn't get eaten.

Only a matter of time George

MY experience in the tropics is that when white Europeans won't venture into the water due to known croc presence,
[large fresh tracks on the beach nearby where i was camped], a swarm of local Aboriginal and Thursday Islander native kids were
still splashing around in the nearby waters on regular basis...appearing to have not an ounce of fear or worry in their minds.
None of the local adults [native or European] who saw such, never really raised an eyebrow or said anything to deter them.

I was putting my boat in the Katherine river once and at the boat ramp a local black fella was swimming around. I said "watch the crocs mate"
"Nah they wont get me"

Now after every wet season they pull a number of 4+ meter salties from where he was swimming.

It's somehow comforting to know that the United States isn't the only country with rednecks.

Tony:
Those things don't get big without eating plenty.
Looks like some have had triple helpings to me.

How's things going for you?

Good mate. Got some rain today. Been a bit dry of late.

Chasing buff through the swamps. falling into pools over chest-deep, in the NT--glad to not have to do that recently.

I think they have had too much alcohol.
