After all, they are territorial creatures, they don't like it when we venture into their territory. So they should stay out of ours! Good to see that the EPA has drawn a line and they are sticking to it. We should make an example of crocodiles who dare to venture south and hopefully the stone fish and box jellyfish will hear about it and won't bother trying. I had to laugh at the safety tips on that second link though. Tip number five of five is "Do not feed crocodiles...it's dangerous" - well, I never knew! These crocs should know better.

After a bit of research, looks like Fraser Island is already starting to see quite a few Croc sightings, and thats only 250k from Brisbane! http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/04/20/2546941.htm What i didn't know is that the 'official' border for crocs is the Boyne river, 500k north of Brisbane, if any croc is sighted to the south of this area, the Queensland Government's EPA (Environment Protection Agency) is obliged to remove them. http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/about_the_epa/media_room/statements/02/m01386.html I think with global warming, its probably only a matter of time before we start to see crocs around brisbane.
