Be Crocwise around the water

Crocodile habitat starts at Gladstone and extends north to the Torres Strait, across Cape York Peninsula and into the Gulf of Carpentaria. Estuarine crocodiles can be found in any waterways and the sea in this area.

Crocodiles can stay out of sight, underwater for hours at a time.

Just because you can’t see a crocodile, doesn’t mean there isn’t one close by.

You can live and play safely in areas inhabited by crocodiles by being Crocwise. Learn how to Be Crocwise and keep yourself, your family and friends safe in and around the water.
