Hi Ian, wonderful colours in this shot, only thing I think the top of the pic is too dark.
Thank you for your comment. Will resubmit a croc shot I took here at Hartleys Creek Zoo, Port Douglas. Very impressive animals!!
Regards Kev :)

Hard to believe further up this thread I am saying
croc attacks are rare and then this one, which
even the experts are puzzled to a croc travelling
over 150 meters from the water and into the tent
and grabbing this Aussies leg and trying to drag
him back to the water, (lucky) for him the 60yr
old women leaped onto its back and
got a broken arm from the powerful tail for her trouble, but the
croc released the guy and then someone else in the
group shot the reptile.
This will go down as the most unusual crocodile attack to ever be seen in Australia, as it is
unknown for an attack this far from the waters edge.
We live and learn

Hi Ian,
thank you for the answer. The german word "Hinterland" usually means something like the country behind something i.e. city, coastline. (hinter = behind, land = country) Seems to fit on your "Gold Coast Hinterland". And it's not surprising that the number ouf tourists is increasing if you keep on shooting pictures like this.
And by the way, yesterday I saw news on german TV about a crocodile attack on an "unhappy camper" in Australia. Really was a weird story.

Heiko, good question, here is the what it means
in the case of the 'Gold Coast Hinterland':
THE Hinterland, also known as the "green behind the gold", is the Gold Coast's best-kept secret that is being discovered by an increasing number of visitors.
Located just 30 minutes drive from the coastal strip, the Hinterland is the Gold Coast's natural "theme park" - along with its famous beaches, of course!
The Hinterland contains an amazing 29 national parks and nature reserves, World Heritage-listed national parks, Australia's largest area of subtropical rainforest, the world's biggest volcanic caldera (of which Mt Warning is the "core") and 300kms of walking trails.
Cheers Ian

Great shot Ian. The blue sky is fantastic. Don't know about the tree in the foreground. It's right in the middle and takes away a lot attention from the landscape.
Just curious: What does Hinterland mean? Is it from the german word "Hinterland" or is it a landscape in Australia? Or somethin totaly different?

Thankyou Cesar for your nice comment, the saltwater crocodile found in northern Australia
is found in rivers and estuaries not on the beaches.

Hi Stephen
At 62 I think I have seen less than 8-10 snakes
in the wild in my life, and except for 2 the others were
seen whilst driving in the country sunbaking on
the road, I think last year only about 15 people
were bitten with no deaths.
You have more chance getting taken by a shark of
which 2 young surfers have been taken this year-
as for crocodiles they prefer tourists the last
fatality being a German swimming at nighr in the
Northern Territory less than 10 meters of a sign
warning about crocs and several years ago an
American girl swimming in a remote area of North-West Australia from a yacht.
Cheers Ian
