Today Regional Express announced it is withdrawing services to the Northern Peninsula Area. Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council is working with alternative providers and the State Government to maintain services into the region. In the interim, I would encourage all families to plan ahead and book travel early where possible.

Living in Croc Country means understanding how to Be Crocwise when you’re around the water.

If you love fishing, boating, camping or swimming in the great outdoors, knowing how to Be Crocwise can reduce your risk of a croc attack.

Be Crocwise. Reduce your risk.

Stay at least 5m from the water’s edge.
Crocodiles often hunt their prey at the water’s edge. If you have to move closer, keep a sturdy object like an esky or large rock between you and the water.

Avoid waterways especially between dusk and dawn.
This is when crocodiles are most active and they prefer to hunt in low light.

Dispose of your food and fish scraps in a bin or take them home.
Crocodiles are attracted by an easy meal, so make sure you take your food, fish scraps and bait away from the water, camp site and boat ramp.

Keep your pets on a lead and away from the water’s edge.
Animals, and dogs in particular, are attractive prey to crocodiles.

Avoid using small watercraft such as kayaks and paddleboards.
The smaller the vessel, the greater the risk
