If you are an avid wildlife enthusiast and watching wild beasts of prey moving around in their natural habitat sends a rush of thrill and excitement down your spine then Australia is one place which you should visit on your next vacation.
Backpacker tourists from all across the world often search for cheap flights to Australia to see first-hand these beasts of prey. Although the crocodile population is evenly dispersed all throughout Australia, there are certain regions where the propensity of finding reptiles is quite high. However as a precautionary measure, try and be a part of a group when you embark on a Crocodile Cruise' in the wild as you never know when you might encounter some really savage and blood-thirsty crocodiles.
Begin your Crocodile Tour of Australia by visiting the Mary River Basin that boasts of the highest number of saltwater crocodiles per square kilometre. The Mary River System offers special Crocodile Cruises' that enable tourists take a close look at the reptiles moving around on the banks of the river and soaking the sun.
To watch these wild beasts in action, head to the Adelaide River Basin where the authorities hang bits of meat over the surface of the river on a wire. As the crocodiles leap out of the water to grab the meat; the wire is pulled further and the meat gets out of their reach. Watching the crocodiles lunge forward out of water to seize the meat makes for a thrilling spectacle which you should not miss at any cost. Quite a few tourists also tease the crocodiles to increase their fun quotient. The Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park in Western Australia & the Johnstone River Crocodile Park in Queensland are two more places where you can watch crocodiles in their natural habitat.
Perhaps the best place in the world to watch Crocodiles live in action is the Crocosauras Cove' in Darwin where tourists are placed in a proverbial glass cage called as the Cage of Death' which is dipped in a pool inhabited with crocodiles. Tourists are perfectly safe within the cage but that's the closest one can get to a crocodile without getting bitten by them. The Crocosauras Cove' is immensely popular amongst wildlife enthusiasts all over the world and each year millions of tourists search forcheap Australia flights during monsoons to watch these beasts prowling around and searching for their prey along the shores.
Crocodile Tours' are not for the faint-hearted, you need to have an inclination for adrenalin rushing adventure to enjoy these tours to the maximum. If you think, you have it in you to face these beasts of prey head on, and then join us on our next Crocodile Tour' later this year.
