We flew into Darwin from Broome which took about 3 hours and as soon as we got to our hostel we booked a crocodile tour in the Adelaide river. Darwin is world famous for its crocs and the fact that they breed them up there to eat and make Top Shop shoes out of was funny. You actually see inclosures all over the place where crocs are being bred. The fences are quite small so people climb them in the middle of the night to bag themselves a baby croc....sod that.

We got onto a small boat on the Adelaide river and had a out back Ozie guid. He looked just like the bloke from crocodile Dundee. We went alongthe river for about 30 seconds before the 1st croc poked its head out and looked at us. Dundees mate had a not so long stick and began dangling a piece of good meat (not pot noodle beef like we are now used to eating) infront of its nose. The croc pretended that it wasnt interested and then all of a sudden it jumped 50ft.....ok 5ft out of the water and gobbled it up. Whilst we were watching this Dundee decided to inform us that we were now surrounded by crocs and that we had to keep an eye on them because they actually do try and get on the boat. He was probably joking but at that time i was standing on the edge until i see a couple of the b*****s a matter of feet away from me so i pooed it and made Nic take the photo's.

After teasing the crocs and avoiding near death a couple of times Dundee and his mate took us 10 mins up river to a mud patch where they spotted a croc they named Michael Jackson due to him having a white face and dark body. Jacko was aparently the main man of the river after being in loads of fights with other crocs and surviving a bullet shot to the head. He did lose a front leg in one fight so he cant be that hard but he was a massive b*****. Roughly 12ft long and as ugly as the ugly woman in Kingpin. Dundee drove the boat right up onto shore narrowly missing the crocs head. This seemed to piss him off a bit, he stood up and growled at us. Dundee said it was the first time he had herd a croc growl but yet again they dangled the meat infront of Jacko to which he made a massive snapping noise and ripped the meat clean off. As the pic shows above Jacko eating the meat.

Darwin is a real nice place with a main street full of bars and restaurants. We were gutted not to stay longer but Alice Springs and the Ghan train were calling so we left after a couple of days.
