This message is sighted as you board the ferry

to cross the crocodile-infested Daintree River.

The deck was only about 2 feet above water level.

If you had seen some of these huge monsters

basking in the sun, there must be some silly people

in the world, of which I am one.

On my first night in Cairns, I wandered down to the beach,

noted that there was no one else in the water,

then walked into ankle-deep water for a minute or two.

I passed the

crocodiles; no swimming

warning as I was leaving.

The sign was strategically placed facing the water.

Technically I did not swim, however rest assured

I did not enter tropical water again.

 

According to Google, Rottnest Island is 33.1 kilometres

west of Perth in the Indian Ocean.

 

After seeing rhinos in the wild and

up close at Botswana’s,

Khama Rhino Sanctuary,

I thoouught that perhaps 100 metres

should have been the safe distance.

The message is; it’s painless

I did not find out if it was true.

 

An exercise completed by some

of Geelong’s disengaged youth

a few years ago.
