 It was pretty shocking we didn t even know there were sharks there, so to see a shark being eaten by a croc was a lot, Ms Wilson said. Mr Elmas said a smaller croc surfaced with the shark before larger ones ripped the shark from the jaws of the saltie. It was a bit of a frenzy, initially I didn t think it was a shark and thought it was a barra, Mr Elmas said. It looked like the small one grabbed it and that brought in four or five other crocs and the larger one grabbed it.  A saltie at Cahills Crossing chowed down on a river shark, putting on a show for Kai Elmas and Indya Wilson.

There’s not many travellers Aussies or not who don’t have The Red Centre on their bucket list. Uluru is constantly topping must-see lists and providing natural wonders to marvel at.

What to expect on a safari through Australia s Top End wilderness 28 January 2021 . BY Imogen Eveson

Roaming with buffalo, cruising with crocs and gliding with some 280 bird species that live here in this watery world: a safari through Australia’s Top End wilderness is an unforgettable immersion.
Windows down, the warm air is sweet and dank with flowering paperbarks. It’s the start of the Dry and Sab’s tyres slice through the submerged road that is still blended into the adjacent billabong.
We’re not in Sydney anymore, where water is defined by the lines of the harbour foreshore. And we’re not in Darwin either, where the tropical waters of the Arafura Sea lie flat at its beaches, and simulated waves at the waterfront slosh holidaymakers around like rubber ducks.
