A jetski club embarked on an epic two-day, 350km trip through crocodile-infested waters along the Far North Queensland coast.
A group from the FNQ Jetski Club went from Cairns to Cooktown, and into several waterways on their joyride, including the Endeavour, Bloomfield and Daintree rivers - all known to be popular with saltwater crocodiles.
Several jetskis in the group - which was formed less than a month ago - either stopped, ran aground or had to be towed at different times.
Members of the FNQ JetSki Club had an incredible adventure with a great bunch of like-minded people, but drew criticism and concern for heading deep into crocodile-infested waters
