Sounds like you were careful in croc country top end Ozzie.

Follow up correction on Rollingstone croc, the drone spotted three large crocs 3-4m long in Rollingstone ck estuary (near fishermans landing/free camp grounds) one was 3m and was possibly the croc in the fresh swimming hole which returned to its normal habitat. They wont be trapped and moved as it's zone E, (unless they go outlaw..ie. attack or stalk people/dogs etc)

So if any travelling I563s, other travelling boaties or any camper up here.. another safety rule is don't camp within 50m of a salties hangout (fishermans landing camp ground is over 50m away from croc waters edge, but not by much).

Another ramp rule is for everyone to never clean fish there.

Your idea of sleeping inside the van good. I have a swag so would use it on my ute's tray back if near an mangrove estuary up north (or inside the I563 cabin). Wouldn't "tent it" on the ground.

We just had huge king tides and events like this would expand croc habitat in hours.
